Worcester Is MAJOR!™: Remember Haiti?

Remember Haiti?

It's been 17-days since the earthquake struck Haiti, and I find it interesting that the media coverage has dwindled dramatically.

The news coverage was intense, graphic and, in some instances, questionable. Was this new found spotlight a way for American news to shine the light on the plight of the Haitian people that have been suffering for many years, or was this the new NEWS? I'll leave that up to you to decide.

After 11-days, the Haitian Government called off the search and rescue missions to focus their attention on taking care of the millions of displaced, distributing relief aid, and digging out of the rubble which has crippled the city of Port-au-Prince.

Word of donations slowing down has already begun as the world looks and focuses on other issues, and many local Haitians feel that the money will go to the corrupt government, which is business as usual in Haiti.

Let's hope that the world hasn't forgotten about Haiti and their plight?
