Imagine being a child in many parts of Haiti today. You leave the orphanage to look one more time for your parents. What once used to be the street you lived on is now an expanse of rubble. As you climb onto one mound, you realize the place you called home is gone.
Your parents are nowhere to be found. Perhaps they are looking for you, or perhaps their remains are just below your feet. With over half of Haiti's population under age 21, you are just one of the countless youth searching for life as it was before the Feb. 12 earthquake.
As the severe situation following the major earthquake in Haiti continues to make headlines, many clubs are stepping up to lend a hand. In response, the Red Cross Club gathered donations by distributing envelopes to all classrooms at the school.
In life, there are certain events and tragedies that transcend the bounds of politics and bring people together for a common cause. Without a doubt, the recent devastation in Haiti qualifies as one of these events. Unfortunately, conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh seems to be incapable of feeling, choosing to downplay the tragic event throughout his commentary in the aftermath of the earthquakes.
