Maybe there were book reports done, and some small  facts thrown around, but there are two facts that were crippling before  true devastation set in. Haiti has been the most poor country in the  Western hemisphere, in a ranking done by the United Nations. Today four  out of five Haitian families live on less than two dollars a day.<\/p>\n<p>In the middle of January an event occurred that most people will  remember for the rest of their lives. That day is when Haiti was  devastated by an earthquake. It was almost like the drop of a hat. The  response to this disaster was extremely important and almost as swift.  People from all around the world have volunteered their time, effort and  money to Haiti.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2010\/08\/BLOG-Dr.-Stephen-gives-child-vaccination-credits.jpg\" rel=\"prettyPhoto[750]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"BLOG Dr. Stephen gives child vaccination credits\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2010\/08\/BLOG-Dr.-Stephen-gives-child-vaccination-credits.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"312\" height=\"243\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Phedeline Mon-Fleury, a 12-year old girl, was running from the  earthquake when it hit. With all the commotion going on around her she  slipped and fell underneath a car. She received severe injuries burning  her neck, face, head, and some of her back. Her mother took her to a  hospital far from the rest of the tight-knit family, not knowing the  outcome but knowing God would take care of her. When they arrived the  doctors told her that Phedeline was burned so severely burned that she  needed special treatment, so they found a way to airlift her to Miami  Children\u2019s Hospital. After they were in the United States a man found  her family. It was until this time that Phedeline\u2019s mother and the rest  of the family were able to finally talk. They were so ecstatic to know  the whole family would be safe, and Phedeline was being treated. The  family is now reconnected and can begin rebuilding their lives.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2010\/08\/Boy-on-Cot_Hi-Res.jpg\" rel=\"prettyPhoto[750]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Boy on Cot_Hi Res\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2010\/08\/Boy-on-Cot_Hi-Res.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"462\" height=\"307\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The help that Haitians need is not only medical, and it does not only  come from those who are able to volunteer and go to Haiti. Elisabeth  Culton and her best friend wanted to make a difference. So, they started  to make a difference at their high school, North Marion in Aurora,  Oregon. They created a slogan \u201cChange\u201d for Haiti. At first they were  only collecting change in classrooms but then they started selling  wristbands with the slogans, and later they even gave haircuts. To date  they have donated $3,000 dollars to Haiti, and they have said they are  not done yet!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2010\/08\/20344_287482747313_277832537313_3531563_7951947_n.jpg\" rel=\"prettyPhoto[750]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"20344_287482747313_277832537313_3531563_7951947_n\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2010\/08\/20344_287482747313_277832537313_3531563_7951947_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"362\" height=\"241\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>With all of the tragedy that Haitians have experienced, it is amazing  to see the response and joy that has come after such a horrible  disaster.
