Summary:
On 12 January 2010, the magnitude 7.0 earthquake ravaged Haiti. Former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush were asked to help with American relief efforts in Haiti. They witnessed many disasters during their political career and they also dealt with them very well, including 9/11, the tsunami in America, and in South Asia. And now, with the advanced technology and help from other organizations, they were confident to help Haiti recover from the disaster. First, they will raise funds to help those hurt, homeless and hungry people. Then, they will help rebuild the infrastructure, create jobs and make Haiti even more prosperous than before. With the support from Haiti’s government, the unity of Haiti’s people and skills and knowledge from other organizations, they believed that Haiti would be its best.
My own idea:
Disaster is horrible, but as long as everybody gets their efforts together, there is always hope. Wherever a disaster happens, help from all over the world will reach there. It reminds me of the earthquake in Sichuan. Food, water and first aid supplies arrived there from all over the world, even some small countries in Africa and Asia. I can still remember how all Chinese people raise money during that period and I think crisis is also the best time to show a people’s unity and harmony. With the help from everybody, we can come over any disaster.

ReplyDeleteThe disaster brought great damage to Haiti, at the same time, it wakes the whole world again. All Chinese people remember what had occured in Sichuan 2008, I remember that time every country united together to help ue go through this. Today I saw people get together again, donations, charity shows, international cooperation. Disaster is no that terrifying when we hold each other's hands.
Haiti suffered the disaster last week. As far as I know, it is estimated that the death toll will rise to 110,000. 190,000 people were injured, 610,000 people lost their homes. I can still remmember the disaster happened in my country last year. It was scary, but with the help of the People's Liberation Army and the rescue team from all around the world, us Chinese quickly recovered from the catastrophy. Same situation as China, Haiti is suffering, world is helping, I am pretty sure that the Haitian will soon recover from it.
