Haiti hit by natural calamity

The earthquake that hit Haiti probably caused the worst natural calamity in history. Close to 100,000 deaths and more than three million people affected. The pictures and news coming out from Haiti shows the dastardly devastation . Coupled with the total breakdown of the administrative machinery, the relief operations have been severely impeded. World aid is pouring in and so is individual contributions. But it is going to take some time before any meaningful alternate solutions can be arranged for the affected people and families.

Haiti is one of the poorest nations in the western world and this heart breaking disaster would severely impair their development process. It would require a concerted effort from social organizations and world Governmental agencies to come to the help of Haiti over a longer period to sustain the momentum of development and growth.

Let us wake up to this cause and help our brethren so they may live a life with self respect and dignity
