• The capital of Haiti is Port-au-Prince.
• Haiti is one of poorest countries in the Western hemisphere. 80% of residents live in poverty. (CIA)
• Haiti is one of the most densely populated and least developed countries in the western hemisphere.

I agree its just such a shame that most of us will have forgotten all about it or any other similar event when it comes off the news headlines.
We all should count our blessings every single day that were lucky enough to live in a place thats relatively safe and easy.

Yes, my sentiments exactly... awful and it really puts things into perspective.
Seems so silly to complain about the snow, cold and long working days now.

We are all so spoiled but sadly we dont realise it enough. Our lives are so easy that we have to complain about things that have no real importance just to keep ourselves amused. Its a pretty sad state of affairs.

Its so sad, a very poor and economically burdened country already, very poor people and to have a disaster of such magnitude is really really sad. My heart goes out to them.....if we could all say a prayer or look for a help line or support group to at least give a $1.00 it will help in some small way to do something. I really feel blessed for what i have and the life i had and thank god for small mercies.

It is a terrible shame, but help is on the way, I got an E-mail this AM from a mate in the Navy.The West Indies guardship has gone off station now and is en-route as we speak. Not a lot of help 1 ship but these guys know what there doing.
