Haitian Earthquake Disaster

Thursday, January 14th, 2010


It is with a very heavy heart this morning that I read about the national disaster in Haiti.
With tens of thousands of lives lost in the impoverished Caribbean nation, I am reeling over the devastation caused by the 7.3 earthquake. Approximately 850,000 -1 million people living in the United States are of Haitian descent and of those about ½ million speak Haitian Creole. My thoughts and well wishes go out to all Haitians and their families across the world today.

Sincerely,
Maggie
