I felt the need to write about this topic because I was saddened by the many lost lives when the earthquake happened in Haiti.
Because of the earthquake the drinking water was contaminated, so that another tragedy happened to the Haitian people, which was Cholera.
My heart aches for the victims of the Cholera outbreak, which should never have been allowed to progress to the point where it is now.
I feel that enough wasn't being done to protect those people from basically poisoning themselves and their children because clean water supplies didn't arrive fast enough from the U.N.
With the billions of dollars from donations getting tied up in red tape to the cases of bottled water not arriving to places in Haiti where it was needed most, we have all witnessed something, so sinister, that it is hard to imagine how these people must have felt when they were thinking that there was no hope for them and their families.
I am including three videos for you to view.
I am also including three links for you to check out.
