haiti disaster

I think what happened in haiti is a tragedy. Natural disasters can't be stopped, and a lot of the time they cannot be predicted. Even though there is nothing we can do to prevent an earthquake, I believe everyone should help. The entire world should get involved in this; any country that is able. We all need to help out; the smallest donation or action can do a lot of good.
I also think we need to raise awareness because even though this is huge, there are some people who don't know the story, and especially that they don't know how to help once they find out. We need to find out information about websites and ways to donate and even start or help charities. The world's responsibility is to get military forces and medical people from their countries to go to Haiti and start helping. I'm happy that the U.S. was there right away.
Everyday people should help aswell; there are many ways that they all can donate, and no matter how many people are in debt or jobless, they should donate as much or as little as they can. I also think that celebrities are obligated to help. I know that there are many celebrities that are helping, but they can do a lot more. The Yankees donated a half of a million dollars to the cause, but lets face it-thats nothing. One players net worth is like, 10 million dollars and these multi-million/billionaires are being selfish (some of them) so I think these people with more money should do more because they can.
The quote is true true, because we absolutely need to do something and now. We cannot ignore it. I would like to donate money to help.
