The mortailty rates are ridiculous, these levels of mortality can be dropped down to a reasonable level by the help of different schools and their support. Maybe if the sanitation and water supplies would be raised the mortality would be dropped. The poverty line is at very high level and it's insane. People should be able to at least donate a little, even though it is a little amount it still could benefit more then some people may think. In Illionis, they were clever as to using music for people to send donations to Haiti. Some people may find this music interesting so they will send donations to them to help support them as a fundraiser. This is a very smart and clever idea to come up with for donations.
The plans that National Doli has for Haiti seem very productive. The fact that they want to take the time and work together and on their own to get supplies and fulfill the needs that Haiti needs. They are really stressing the needs that Haiti needs and making sure that they are made possible. It's so sad that people are living with a limited supplies of water and some are even drinking water without the treatment. This could cause a lot of harm to people and something more needs to be done so that people can drink water that is treated and so that they can continue to grow heathly. More sanitation areas need to be put into Haiti because there are no sanitation in Haiti and this is causing more and more health problems then their should be.
The things that students in Concord seem like they would be beneficial to Haiti and it's very inspiring how much the students want to help out those people in Haiti. It's amazing how dedicated they are help even though they are only in elementary school. Even though some of the things they are doing are just little things they are still a big help to progress of getting Haiti back on his feet. I think it's amazing how these packages of food are helping families be able to have a meal just because of these students in Concord. They are making it seem like anyone can help and do anything even though it's little to be supportive to Haiti.
Hi, my name is Paige Darnold. I'm a junior at Mount Vernon High School and i'm 16 years old. Mount Vernon is located in central ohio and is a beautiful city. Although Mount Vernon is not the biggest city in Ohio it still contains a large amount of population. Mount Vernon is a very athletic town, but that's not all were about. We are strong in our academic classes and show our individuality on our independence. Mount Vernon is a very complex but simple at the same time kind of town.

Bake Sale At Best

On Jan,29th local 5th grade Conerstone Learning Community class teamed up with 4th and 8th grade to put on" Haitian Food for Haitian Lives", to raise money for Haiti. They served everyday food that Haitians would eat.

There was also a bake sale to follow the meal. Everyone brought in cookies or some baked good, for the bake sale, even people from other grades who just wanted to help. They made posters to advertise for the bake sale.

5th grader Augie quotes "It was a phenomenon". Another says "it was the longest line I have ever seen ever seen".

The line of the bake sale had about 75 people in it. They sold cookies,cupcakes, things called 5 Bars,and etc. In total they made $1200.75, 100% of that is going to Haiti.

Haiti's problem

On Jan. 12,2010 at noon in Haiti something happened to change the lives of over 200,000 people and putting out the flames of hope for many others.


Just out side of Por-au-prince the capital of Haiti over 200,000 people died when the 7.0 magntude earthquake hit. With Haiti biening one of the poorest places in the world.


Not many buildings were not able to with stand the earthquake the capital was the only building thought to stand if a natural disaster now is in ruins.


"i wanted to help, and i think it brought a lot of attention to Haiti that it needed." says Ella Kiwala


A fifth grader at CLC in Tallahassee F.L. Her friend Abby Stone says "it had not sunk in yet it was so'rta out in the air and i did not pay much attention to it."


Now Abby and Ella are working full force to help Haiti at CLC. In Haiti the money they made will help lots. It could save meny lives. "iam happy we raised $1,400 and I know it's going to Haiti so I feel even better." said Ella. "After all Haiti needs every last bit it can get! Please help Haiti now." added Paige Machie one other student at CLC. As i walk a way from CLC I am touched how a hand full of kids in there second to last year of elementary school to kids about to go into middle school and kids about to go to high school all working to gether to help Haiti.

Haiti Fundraiser Interveiw



On Jan,29 CLC, "A private school with a public mission," took on the job of helping Haiti in a Haitian food for Haitian life's fundraiser. The three classes of 4th, 5th and 8th grade made a great Haitian meal and held an awesome bake sale. Which includes red beans and rice, fried plantains and a bean salad. The bake sale and meal included earned about $1,300.

My job was to interview a 4th grader about the event and Haiti. I asked "Omie Coyne", ( A 4th grader from CLC ) a couple of questions.

Q: Did you ever know anything about Haiti, before the earthquake hit?

A:"No, I did not even know that Haiti existed."

Q: How do you feel about what you did to help?

A: "I feel Great and I'm glad I did it!"

Q: How do you think the fondraiser went?

A: Great, I think it went very well.

Omie told me that a lady came into her classroom and talked about Haiti. The lady had been to Haiti one month before the disastrous earthquake hit. Omie said that the lady talked about Haiti's history. Omie thinks that the $1,300 dollars should go to Doctors without Borders and Red cross.

You can help too!!!
