What Can We Do To Help Haitian Children Go to Safe Schools? This School Collapse Killed About 100 Students

Haitian School Collapse: Haitian Parents Dig La Promesse School Students with Bare Hands

Haiti, the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, has been struggling to recover from widespread riots over rising food prices, a string of hurricanes and tropical storms that killed nearly 800 people.

Thousands of Haitian menial laborers live in collapse-prone hillside slums around the capital, Port-au-Prince, to be near the mansions of the foreign diplomats, U.N. staff and wealthy elite for whom they work.

Parents said they toiled endlessly throughout the year to afford the school's $1,500 tuition in hopes of empowering their children to someday escape poverty.

Haitian Taste Testers Want Burger King's WhopperVirgins.com Ad Campaign To Try Their Virgin Territory

Burger Kings takes the battle of whopper vs. Big Mac on this website showing various groups people tasting the big whopper. The idea is that Burger King goes a long way to find virgin tasters of the whopper. A romanian woman, another old lady and three Hmongs star in this commercial. Their goal is taste the whoppers.

Hmong taste testers have a good chance of choosing the whopper over McDonald's Big Mac.
What are other bloggers saying about this experiment in virgin taste?

"The No 2 burger-maker in the US asked farmers in the Transylvania region of Romania, the Hmong tribe of Thailand, and other folks in far-flung places to sample its Whopper alongside McDonald's Big Mac and declare the winner."

A blogger on Walletpop wrote: "What might irk people is the concept that Burger King is taking its fat-laden fast food to people who aren't used to this stuff in their diets, who aren't usually subject to our crass commercials, and who probably don't really care too much."

Burger King said it approaches this project with great care. It wants to respect the cultures it is using in this ad campaign.

While we are at it, the music is catching too.

Heart4Haiti2.wordpress.com Publishes Graphic Pictures of Young Haitian Victims by Last Hurricanes

In one of the pictures posted by Deborah Ecklund, a malnourished kid is seen posing for a picture. There are millions of kids like that one. Months after the hurricane, these kids are still waiting for help from the International community. They are still without food, drinkable water, a roof over their head, and a blanket. Many people are willing to help, but do not know how to help these kids.

Heart4Haiti2.wordpress is doing a good job exposing the unbelievable conditions of this Caribbean island. Haiti is a place where people go hungry on a daily basis. Children are suffering for lack of food, water, and education. Yet, Haiti is a neighbor to our country, the U.S.A.

Sponsorandfeedachild program sponsors have been willing to help their kids' families rebuild or repair their homes in most situations. So far, 6 children are being helped through this sponsorship program. More sponsors are needed. If you want to sponsor a kid, contact us at sponsorachildemail at gmail.com
