Hope For Haiti

I have heard of the recent tragedy of Haiti (I apologize for not posting something sooner). At first I didn't really understand the tarmac effects of a 7.2 earthquake (one of the largest in history). Bur as I heard ore and more, I now understand what this means to the Haitians. No people should have to suffer just a disaster as this. Especially the Haitians, one of the poorest country in the world. And in out past, we have rarely done anything to help our neighbor--but now we can, and we must. Please help donate money to such places as Red Cross or by Hope For Haiti on itunes.

Here are some options, otherwise type in 'Haiti' 'Donations' 'Red cross' etc into Google, and helped the Haitians as much as you possibly can.

Thank You

A New Year

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
It is 2010, and well, I can't really think or remember great worldwide accomplishments for '09, but maybe I'm just blanking (but then again I did just right a 3 paragraph report on The Princess and the Frog.) Nor, though, can I think of many mistakes. So, not a bad one, not a great one in my opinion. The cup really is at the half way mark--whether it is half empty or half full is entirely up to you. So, however, is the outcome of this year. Are we going to take a step back from our more conscious and "anti-racism" world, to become afraid of awareness? Or are we going to keep walking foreword, together, and be ready and willing to criticize and question? Or, of course, the easy way out, we could just, not do or change anything at all. I know it sounds cheesy, but every small change starts with a single person, to make something huge.
No pressure.
So Happy New Year, make sure there is actually something new about it.

Cheers,

Kloie
