Part A- Haiti Report





Haiti is an easily targeted country for natural disasters, like earthquakes and hurricanes to hit the country. Disasters constantly hit Haiti which makes it difficult for the country to regain its well-being state. After the latest earthquake hits Haiti on January 12, 2010 and after many lives lost and buildings crashed, Haiti tried to rise up and regain back the country’s government and people. But as we all know, it’s not as easy as it seems, putting Haiti back in a good state would take time and effort. After watching the video of “The Lost Children of Haiti”, I realized there’s more damage made to Haiti than the buildings or government. The numerous children of Haiti were in danger from diseases, hunger, sanitation, sexual assault and also a new modern day slave trade. Half of a million children are living on the streets, alone to defend and survive themselves. Children in Haiti consist of either being separated from parents or lost their parents or even lost. The numbers of children who are lost in Haiti are estimated to 50,000 children. There are many orphanages filled with lost children. Some people could not afford to feed their children so they give them to the orphanage for care. The children human rights are abused in plenty of ways. For example, they don’t have enough of their basic needs. Food and water resources have always been a problem and these children can’t work for money to get food or water. Children in orphanages too has a problem with this as well because as many children filled the orphanage. It gets harder and harder to feed and take care of all of them and plus it would cost a lot too. The human right to have security is also a major problem to these children. The children often get abuse, beaten, sexual assaulted and put in slavery. Organizations such as GOP, (Global Orphan Project) Unicef, Un and more started to help out these children. Orphanages were made, security for the children, kids reuniting with parents and more were happening. I think that this country would cope in the forthcoming year by continuing the improvement and lead and keep the good changes happening.
