I'm too lazy to set up my converter box to work on more than two channels and have been slacking on my early a.m. HuffPo readings. Luckily, my Twit fam have a functioning TV and notified me about the devastating earthquake in Haiti.
Like the rest of the world, I was saddened, but I woke up the day after in major panic. My friend Joanne has been in Haiti for the last month spending time with family. By the time I made in to work, I recieved the text that she was ok. However, my heart is still heavy for the hundreds of thousands who aren't.
A friend tweeted, "Yo, Haiti is having the worst century ever!" Jokingly, I responded, "Word, Haiti had the 1800s on lock!" Yeah, it was kinda funny, but it saddened me at the same time. Haiti went from being a sovereign country inhabited and run by Blacks to becoming a third world country,
Most of us know at least ONE person who is affected by this. JoJo is at the airport on her way back to NYC, but I cant say the same for the faces I have never seen before. Please donate to Yele, Wyclef Jeans foundation. All you have to do is text " yele " to 501501 and 5 bucks will be donated.
Also, Haiti is one of the countries that PUR and Summit on the Summit is aiding. They have already sent over 300,000 PUR packets to Haiti as of today. Make sure to donate to SOTS too because your aid goes DIRECTLY to the people in need.
The obligation of the blessed is to be a blessing to someone else.
