Picture this. It’s a normal average day where ever you live. You go about your daily routine when out of nowhere life as you know it is turned upside down. The foundation of your well being has been thrown by an event of catastrophic proportions. Sound farfetched. Try living in the country of Haiti right now. Two months after a 7.0 earthquake changed an infinite number of lives down. People living in poverty now wonder if they will make it to the next day. Families separated by destruction hope to be reunited with their loved ones. Now it seems this tragedy has become an afterthought to some throughout the world.
I have to give recognition to
Sarah Forgany and photographer
Conrad Hertzock of
KLFY over in Lafayette. They took the trek to the country of Haiti and brought back a series of reports following local relief workers continuing to help people still affected by the earthquake in January. I watched them all and the country has a lot of rebuilding to do. The buildings may be gone but the Haitian spirit, although tested, is still going strong. However, help is still needed so if you haven’t
donated to the relief efforts please do so.
In addition, watch the work Sarah and Conrad put together. They are some real eye opening
stories that show what is happening down there right now. Moreover, if you are having a bad day remember what the people in Haiti have been through are continuing to endure right now.
