miracles in Haiti

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygt3sHpsKms&feature=player_embedded

This is a video that i also found on the hospital web site. It was made to show why people why they should donate money to Haiti or do some sort of community service for Haiti. 

I thought that is video showed really amazing photographs and i also thought that it captures many moments. I want to maybe start a club at Brookline High School to raise money for Haiti and also to learn more about the current situations in Haiti. If there is currently a Haiti club at the high school maybe i will even join that club. There are still a lot of things that still need to be worked on in Haiti. For example, many kids are homeless and are not receiving an education. Also many people are starving everyday. I wish that I could do something about this. 

I would encourage those who look at my blog to look at the link for the video because it is really amazing. While watching, also pay attention to the words on the photographs. When watching this video I was really happy to see some of the people who I helped when i went to Haiti. One of my favorite images in this video is at 1:50. At this part, the girl is so happy and has a beautiful smile. I also like the caption that says "joyful" that is shown with this image. It makes me both happy and sad to see this video. Tell me what you think of the video and if you liked it!

  1. I really like your idea of a club. Last year, right after the earthquake, there were a group of students who organized to raise money to send to Haiti. Perhaps you were part of that group. You might speak with Mr. Grande, a history teacher, who helped organize this effort. I can help you get in touch with him if you need help.

    Please, please, please think about a way to use this blog project to connect yourself--and a group--with Haiti. It would be a great use of blogging and the web, and I think it would make this project very meaningful for you. If this interests you at all, please let me know. It would be a great way to start a group. We could figure out a way for you to connect to a school class (or a few students) in Haiti so you could exchange info and get information about what it's like for them right now. Again, let me know if you're interested and I can help you figure out how to make this work.

  3. I liked that video a lot. It was so surprising to see a smiling face directly after seeing a injured child. It shows that the Haitian people are strong and have an immense about of courage.

  4. I would definitely join your club, and i am in journalism one, so i recently researched all of the BHS clubs and none of them are for Haiti. Also, if you do start a club i would love to write an article on it for the Sagamore.
