Greetings everyone. Today 8 lucky people will have the opportunity to accompany me Abdulla Hassan The president of the student for philanthropy organization this summer to Haiti on a mission to help rebuild their nation after the January 12, 2010 earthquake (Taft-Morales). Our main job will be to help those fellow human beings to rebuild their nation after the earthquake struck. As we may be aware, it has been more than five years now since the tragedy. Despite this fact, it has been difficult for the country to go back to its former self. There are numerous reasons behind these major setbacks.
For those who may not be aware of the earthquake, Ill inform you on the catastrophe that happened there. On January 12, 2010, Haiti was struck by a earthquake with a 7.0 magnitude. More than 200,000 people were killed and close to 1.5 million others injured according to the Disasters Emergency Committee. Gael Turine, a photographer who spent the last ten years taking photos in the country, said that the wounds of the earthquake aftermath are still visible in Port-au-Prince, the capital city of the country. Half destroyed buildings can be seen all over the city, and the residents reported that their living conditions is worse than before the earthquake struck. Haiti is a third world country, this clears out why it has been difficult to recover even after receiving support what happened. The country got lots of aid and support from other countries, but the situation is still harsh according to the photographer Turnie. Most nongovernmental organizations are pulling out, and investors also stopped investing in the country. This resulted in most Haitians finding themselves in a situation that is worse than it was before. This is time where volunteer groups such as ours should come in, and I believe that if more and more such volunteer groups join hands, the country will rise again.. The Haitian government is strapped for cash and unable to help the citizens to rebuild their houses …show more content…
We could be part of a solution to this potentially great nation. They need our input as we are young dedicated team that will find solutions for their health that will in turn help them to restore their nation and strengthen their economy once again. In our mission, we will help to build structures that will help to endure future earthquakes and hurricanes. We will also work in child care centers, public health and educational programs. Moreover, our team will assist in building infrastructure, help in new agriculture, infrastructure and new technology innovations to help build a new sustainable economy. Our national office will provide us with decent housing, food and travel expenses. There will be no payments as this will be a purely volunteer exercise, but students who will register through career services will get 3 credits. I know the 6 weeks is a short period of time and we can’t cover every problem. Now,,, I have seen lots of people pain and suffer in situations like these but when you show up and give the hand of aid and see just the smile on their faces at that moment you will be delighted that all the efforts you’ve put made someone happy. Believe me Nothing in this life is better than making others happy. Therefore, I take this opportunity to urge you to join me in this noble and human cause and may you be blessed. Thank
