I know many of you have mentioned on the blog the lack of care we often see from our peers, perhaps this would provide them perspective on reality... This conversation is copied from a combination of social networking sites being used to help keep aid moving and spread news in Haiti.

Sometimes even full efforts don't achieve desired effect. So imagine when people aren't giving it thier all.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing to see how fragile life really is...It blows my mind to think that there are thousands upon thousands of these stories to be told.
ReplyDeleteI think it would suck to be the one calling out for help, stuck under the rubble. Because even though people might hear you and try to tell the world that yes, you are alive; you have absolutely no idea. And you will most likely die thinking "all that work and no one came." Even though it isn't the truth.
ReplyDeleteHearing about this, made me really want to cry. I look back on today, and I think of how we talked about a few of the things happening in Haiti in English, when one kid said it wasn't fair that the orphans were getting free citizenship. How could that bother someone, when the children lost EVERYTHING. It doesn't matter weather or not, their citizen comes with a price, or doesn't. To me the thing that matter's is that those kids have a second chance at life, unlike all of us. They have people who want to care for them, in their time of need.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure how much this has to do with this particular post, but I wanted everyone to read this blog I found:

It really is powerful, and I think that it really puts the situation into perspective for all of us.
