YELE HAITI (SCREAM HAITI)

If you have not been paying attention to the news, internet, people talking, if you have been sleep then maybe you have not heard that yesterday a major earthquake (7.0 on the Richter Scale) has rocked the western hemisphere's poorest country Haiti. Our prayers  go out to the families, the people and the country of Haiti, but at this time they need help! Many countries and organizations are giving relief to help an already economically depressed country, get involved! Even if it's only sending $5, I know the world economy is weak and our pockets maybe empty but it's time to lend a helping hand; as one poet (AP) whom I admire greatly says "Be mindful that we are all - in some form or fashion - connected"
