It seems as if Mother Nature has it for the World, and as usual the poorest people are the ones hurt the most.
A call for the people of Honduras:
Come on and help our Hatian brothers and sisters, it is the only country in the American continent who is as poor as we are, we should be able to identify with their needs better than anybody else, we have also had our share of natural disasters hurting our country, and we know how much the help is really needed.
While I was in Miami after Hurricane Mitch attacked Honduras, I saw the Hatian communititty get toguether things our country needed, it is our time to give back to those who have given to us when in need we were.
