Aruba is bringing aid to Haiti

I was reading an article about Aruba bringing aid to the people of Haiti. Their red cross is collecting donations and has set up bank accounts where people and businesses can contribute. Some telecommunication companies are collecting funds by text messages. Some businesses are making large contributions, and a college is holding fund raisers as well.

It is so heart warming to see Aruba helping them out in that way. I've always thought of Aruba as just a holiday resort, now I realize they're so much more than that. It makes me even more excited about my trip.

That's really great! It is nice to see people working together for once to try and help those in crisis. Did you see the telethon the other night? I think they raised over 57 million dollars in just a few hours!

There are tons of donation sites I see setup over the web and I am thankful as well. I have a few friends down there and even though they are "online friends" they are still friends none the less. I have only heard back from one so far so I am a little worried, but at the same time I am thankful for those willing to help even in small amounts.

What happened in Haiti was horrible. I've also just heard, they are calling off the search for survivors since it's been so many days since the tragedy. I hate it but reality is anyone who was alive under the rubble is probably gone by now.

I am very happy to hear the news. The silver lines of the disaster and other disasters we are facing nowadays is always the same; we are called to help those in need as we feel that they are part of us.

This reminds us that we are living in one big home and that is the Earth. If we don't help each other then who will?

I'm glad that Aruba is lending its helping hand to the people of Haiti. This would greatly increase their reputation to other nationalities.
