Haiti in our hearts

Why Haiti hurts so much? How much pain can a nation resist? It is extremely painful for me to watch how Haiti goes through this devastation. I also see how the goodwill of people from all over the world, as always occurs in circumstances like these, manifests showing the goodness of human beings. I also watch people judging Haiti for not being a progressive nation. Beyond all those sociological, historical and political “reasons”, the fact is that Haiti needs, besides material help, healing thoughts from all of us. Those images of resilient people, children and adults able to smile despite the fact they don't have anybody to care for them is, in my eyes, one of best expressions of strength. Let's help them heal and believe in themselves. I believe there is future for Haiti. It is collective that won’t surrender.
Being the mother of two, I feel powerless seeing those scenes of children who have lost their parents and entire families. I wish I had the resources to take many of those children under my umbrella. Something I can say is, I wish those people who have the possibility rethink of the possibility of adopting a child, and if not, at least help to raise them in the respectful institutions that operate in the island. Finding the right institution and sponsoring a child will give the joy you ever experienced.
