The Tragedy in Haiti

You all probably know about the tragedy that unfortunately happened in Haiti. A massive earthquake hit Haiti causing major damage to a city named Port-au-Prince destroying houses, buildings and more, leaving many homeless. Many people were stuck under the rocks and crushed houses, many Canadians are missing in Haiti also. Aid organizations are working extremely hard to help free every person trapped under the rocks but they aren’t the only people helping out Haitians, emergency relief teams are providing medical help for the people of Haiti too.
All around the world are giving donations and even making benefit concerts to raise money for Haiti. Nelson Mandela Park Public School Girls’ Group were also helping raise money to support Haiti by creating this raffle contest to win some prizes. They sold the tickets at 25 cents and many people participated in the event. They raised about $500 WOW! Later on they organized a bake sale to also help Haiti through the crisis too.
Then later Haiti received at least 52 aftershocks. Almost 300, 000 people were found injured and 230,000 were found dead! It’s really sad and some of them are kids who have lost their families and maybe even their friends due to deadly the earthquake. Some people are still missing and they need any help they can get.
