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…
