Natural Disaster in Haiti

By now we've all heard of the catastrophic disaster that occurred in Haiti. The earthquake left an already impoverished country devasted, with millions killed and/or displaced.
Far worse than the massive tsunami that hit Southeast Asia a few years ago, the response from the US and the world has been quick, unlike that of Hurricane Katrina. However, there are many obstacles standing in the way of getting aid to the people who need it most.

Assignment:

  • Find an article on the earthquake and it's aftermath from a news source (NY times, Boston globe, cnn.com...).
  • Read the article and write a one paragraph summary of it in your blog.
  • Post a link to the original article below your summary.
