Be a man for others - St. Ignatius Loyola
The world has watched as Haiti was attacked, not by a foreign country but instead mother nature. It was a terrible tragedy that left thousands homeless and dead. Also it has put a dent in the progress of Haiti.
Instead of using their funds/money to attract investors and to improve their economy and infrastructures, they now have to rehabilitate their country. But there is good news. The World Bank has canceled Haiti's debt of $36 million from donations from the first world countries. Not to mention $379 million will be made available to Haiti for their recovery as well as $10 billion in long term assistance.
Haiti was devastated but now there is a reason for them to smile again. No amount of money will ever be enough compensation for the lives that were lost but at least they will be able to have a better beginning. In a world were war and devastation create headlines and makes people believe that the world is not like what it used to be, there is hope for good news after all.
