I get really worried in situations like this; not just for the victims of natural disasters like these, but more that the overwhelming response will eventually fade away and become forgotten.
It's really easy to jump on the bandwagon when things are at their peak! Haiti really needs supplies and relief now, and the donations have been pouring in all over the world!
...but in one year, or two or three or more, the people of Haiti are still going to need help. Can we promise to remember them - and all the other people of the world - in that time? Will we promise to keep donating to causes like Doctors Without Borders and the Red Cross and Habitat for Humanity, even when those organizations aren't in the news?
Everyone I have spoken to about these current events have very loving, very giving hearts. Let's keep that love and selflessness going whenever and wherever we are able for a lifetime.
