Haiti: Running to Help

Categories: Caribbean, Haiti, Disaster, Humanitarian Response, International Relations, Migration & Immigration

Diaspora blogger Peggy Brunache [1] is touched by the outpouring of support for Haiti: “I have always felt that Haiti was like that little kid who everyone tried to hit first and repeatedly during a dodgeball game. After getting pummelled, the little kid would get up, brush herself off and limp to her next class. And yet this time, when something large, hard, and random fell out of the sky hitting this little girl in her head, knocking her down with a severe concussion, bleeding profusely, a bunch of kids ran over to help her.”
