Since I can ever remember i was consistintly reminded of where I was from, which is Haiti. A third world country that lies in the carribean and shares the island with Domincan Republic. Haiti was once know as the jewel of the carribean but as the years passed on, Haiti has seem to have lost it’s luster. Haiti was hit with a devistating earthquake through the captial of Port-au-Prince on January the 12th 2010. The distruction is hard to bear and very sad but what amazes me is my out look to the situation.
From a young age whenever I asked about Haiti my parents would only tell me of how sad it is and how the government is basically non existing of the poverty and the lack of education. The majority of the people live in poverty while a small percent (let then .01%) live in wealth. Many of the people do not have a education, for many years the literacy rate of this country has been on a declined. For those that are able to get a visa they leave the country in search of the education and a chance of a better life for themselves, and their family.
Now with these things rolling through your mind how can you see a bright future for this poor infortunite country? what will happen to this people? do you think that Haiti can get itself out of this situation? Because sadly I don’t think Haiti has the strength or the resources to pull itself from the ashes of this tragety.
