So it's been 11 days since the Earthquake in my country, Haiti. I've been so overwhelmed with emotions ever since this catastrophe as you heard them call it on the news everyday. And it was.. Never would I ever imagine that this would've happened to my country, to any country as that. Not this bad. We've had hurricanes here and there, where we would lose about 1000 people but during this earthquake, we lost the whole country. There's an estimate of about 200,000 deaths which includes my little cousins, my mother's friends, my friend's family members, my neighbor's family members, someones wife, husband, child. We were suffering and we lost hope.
Throughout this time, I was shattered with emotions. I didn't want to do anything. I was hiding in my room, there I felt safe within my tears and pain. Watching where you grew up and spent most of your life in shambles is a very painful experience.
Slowly but surely I am believing that maybe this is for our own good. We have been suffering for a while, with the government and the economy and we've needed and been calling for help. I know many of us are just disappointed that it had to take an earthquake and thousands of death and million homeless to get that.
I assume you all follow the news since this is all over, from the rescue stories to people doubting Wyclef's "Yele" organization and to yesterdays "Hope For Haiti" telethon. After Wyclef's performance it really just set in for me .. We will survive this. We are a STRONG nation, we have HOPE and we are FAITHFUL. Tears may have been shed, hearts may have been broken, memories may have been washed away but "L'union fait la force"*
Keep helping anyway you can.. even when the spotlight is not on us anymore we are still here. It's going to take a while and I strongly believe that we will be better. We have fallen down and so we MUST get up.
P.S. You can go to itunes.com/haiti to buy these songs that were performed during the "Hope For Haiti" telethon
Some of you may or may not know Haiti has been hit with an earthquake this afternoon around shortly before 5 p.m.. A lot of houses, buildings went down. Phones and Internet are down also. This is MY country, I have a lot of my family out there and my friends also. If you can please keep me and my country in your prayers.
If you want to do more then that there's plenty of ways:
- You can text YELE to 501 501 and donate $5 towards the earthquake relief or go to www.yele.org for more information
- Red Cross will be helping also for those who's trying to reach to their family members. Go here for more info or visit Red Cross
- CNN is also taking part, if you want info and just want to stay updated go to CNN.com
- Mercy Corps is having an online donation going towards Haiti. Visit here to donate
- Food For the poor are also having an online donation. Go here for more information
We need as much help as we can get. This was a pretty strong earthquake and many many people are affected by it. So if you can do ANYTHING that would really help Haiti.
Just sitting here posting, I was talking to one of my friends and she told me about this Yele Haiti Boots. For some of you who don't know I am Haitian, born and raised there so anything to help Haiti I support it!
Here's what it is basically:
"To help promote reforestation in Haiti and protect the environment, Timberland and Wyclef Jean have teamed up to create the Yéle Haiti Playlist With A Purpose. Just add this reforestation remix to your favorites and imeem will make a donation to Wyclef’s Yéle Haiti Vert program, a grassroots movement promoting reforestation in Haiti.
And if you really want to make a difference, check out another Timberland & Wyclef collaboration: the Yéle Haiti Earthkeepers TM Collection. Made from recycled materials, this eco-conscious footwear offers a fresh perspective on a classically hip style. And for every pair of Yéle Haiti Earthkeepers TM sold, $2 will go to Wyclef’s foundation to support reforestation."
Here's the boots, they kind of look like combat boots. Sort of, kind of nice this could be a perfect Christmas present maybe ladies for your fellas, brothers, dads. There's only 2 styles for females which are the first 2 in the first picture
