Hope for Haiti

Last week, January 12th a horrible earthquake struck Haiti. It lasted about 35 seconds and had several aftershocks. Three of them were of magnitude 5. However the major earthquake was of magnitude 7, which is of course a lot. Not only that, but several days ago a second earthquake hit Haiti, this one was of magnitude 6.3. This caused even more chaos. People die, and others were looking for people that are probably dead under stones. Many celebrities are trying to save up money to help these people. They do this because not only their houses are broken but this nation is extremely poor. People fight for their food, they fight to find somewhere decent to sleep in and they fight to find their loved ones. They lost everything, all that they built in these last years is ruined, all their hope is shattered.

Thankfully the UN have tried helping them, and they receive food and some shelter. Unfortunately they still need a lot of help, therefore people's help is needed. All around the world organizations are starting to help them. There is a new slogan that is used: Hope for Haiti. Celebrities collaborated together to create a song: Haiti mon amour. Some of these celebrities in Justin Timberlake and Rihanna. Hopefully this nightmare will be over soon.
