How To Help Haiti

As of January 15th, 2010 the estimated death toll in Haiti is around 45,000 to 60,000 people. This number will certainly rise in the coming days and weeks. The population of Haiti is estimated to be around 10,000,000 people. Nearly half of Haiti’s population are children.

Many hospitals in Haiti were destroyed in the earth quake and hospitals that are still standing have been moved out doors due to the fear of after shocks.
