And although we should be proud of the response the United States, Israel and other countries have had to the devastating aftermath in Haiti, to still hear reports that food, medicine and other supplies have not reached everyone in need is disheartening. It is also interesting to note that although it was the topic of the media when it first happened, we can see how it is already taking a back seat to other “news worthy” items.  It is our obligation to stay aware and involved in what Haiti is going through and if you have not sent any financial assistance, please think about doing so.
