Haiti Earthquake

January 2010

On January 12, a severe 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti

An estimated 200,000people have died,

250,000 are injured,and 1.5 million

are left homeless.

Before the quake Haiti wasalready the poorest country in

the Western hemisphere…

Now, after the quake, the loss is unimaginable,

and the suffering incomprehensible.

But we can help Haiti pick up the pieces…
