As you know Haiti, one of the poorest countries in the world, was struck by an earthquake a few days ago.  A group of young Haitians from at a filmmaking school in the coastal city of Jacmel retrieved their cameras from the rubble of their school, and are providing reports from the front lines of the damaged city.  With what internet connectivity they've been able to find, they've posted short videos (less than a minute each) and pictures on their website here.  More will be posted as they are able.  If you have a second, please check it out, and then please consider doing something to help, be it making a donation to the Red Cross or another aid organization, passing the word on to friends or parents, talking to people about what's going on, or even saying a quick prayer or silent wish of well-being if you believe in such.

Thanks.

Good for you.  Yeah, it is sad.  Did anyone catch the telethons that were on TV last week?

I remember seeing on a news channel that Haiti had another mini-earthquake..since I didn't see it in the papers, I'm not sure. Well, did it happen?

Yeah, there have been a number of aftershocks, some more serious than others.  It has everyone afraid to be inside buildings, so instead people stay on the streets where they get sick from the intense heat during the day.

My grandfather went to Haiti before this happened a long time ago. he ment a little gril there that he became friends with (he wanted to be her father). I hope that girls ok
Grandpa even gave me a souvener of Haiti some money from there(it was for my coin collcetion) but I lost it.
