Quotes:

Fox, “The earthquake struck a country that was already the poorest in the hemisphere, caught in a cycle of bad governance, violence and dependency on foreign aid. The quake seemed a curse on women and men, girls and boys, who had already suffered too much. Yet, incredibly, Haitians still had hope.” This tells us about Haiti before the earthquake, which is essential to know when studying the earthquake because we need to know about the land and the citizens  before all of this happened. This website answers the questions, why then and why there.

Fox, “They need investment in health, education and small-holder agriculture. They need a functioning government that can lead the process of reconstruction.” This quote reveals what we can do to help now and in the near future. Haitians need to make some progress by organizing themselves and their community, staying optimistic, and believing in the government.
