Why is Haiti So poor?

10 reasons why

1. The war that happened in Haiti against france when the haitians were slaves before the haiti independance.

2. Out of all Haitians presidents (22) 21 where driven out of the country or assasinated.

3. The adults are very uneducated and have a short life expetency.

4. The people that came into Haiti brought in diseases.

5. They had to pay loans out to other countries.

6. The goverment is really weak and dont have much power.

7. Some nations stopped them from advancing.

8. More than half the haitian kids dont go to school.

Haiti earthquake update

Haiti Update

a week after the devastating earthquake in the least developed country in the Americas.

              

          A week after the earthquake in Haiti, The searches are still being done to the  Haitians to help find their loved ones. Chances of finding more people still alive is very low. Aid is being sent in to help the peole in Haiti keep healthy and help them get better, but there is a bottlecap with letting the aid in  because of such low resources. There is low supplies everywhere and people are getting very sick and are in despret need of aid. There are low  fuel and water.

Earthquake disaster in Haiti

The devastation has killed many, in Haiti a country that is still recovering a dangerous hurricane  in 2008.

A few days ago there was a disaster in Haiti, a 7.0 quake hit. The death toll is still rising and people fear it will get up to 100,000. This photo is of a girl probably covered in a building. This is a part of the disaster. Other countries are taking part in helping the residents in Haiti.

This is another photo of the port-au-prince presidential palace. Which has been standing for a long time. When recently it has been crushed by a 7.0 magnitude earthquake in Haiti. Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere.

Movies 

     Before I went to Bali for my holidays i watched a couple movies in the theatre. First i watched Avatar while i was Christmas shopping. I came with my brother, dad and friend. It was so long almost three hours!! Though it was long it was good. The movie was very predictable. A couple days later I watched Sherlock Holmes. It was my favourite out of the two and quite funny. They were good movies even if they didnt get a good reveiw. Did you know that when they first decided to make avatar it was 15 years ago! and i cant wait till the next Sherlock Holmes comes out the first was really good and i suggest you go watch it.

Family

I spent most of the holiday with my family. From Christmas on to my Bali holiday. We drove to Amed, the east of Bali and went snorkeling and sailing. Then we drove back to Seminyak and had a nice holiday in the villa. I think New Years was messed up because we all had different times and so we didnt know when it was new years.  Bali was great, i think it would've been better with family but i still liked it.

(will post another photo soon)

Tuesday 29th

Today is our first day in Bali! Early in the morning. We had breakfast and then went on a big boat with literally everything and had a long boat trip to the first snorkel location. Once we had 2 snorkels we sailed back to the hotel. I just slepped because i had a really bad night sleep -_-.  We got back at 4. I swam and then played pool and then ate dinner. Finally after a long day i went to sleep.
