Sean Penn has been any pretty much since the earthquake happened just 10 months ago. I have a lot of respect for what he is doing there and the impact he is having. It’s really cool to see someone who has the money and fame, realizing that he has the capacity to do something about a horrendous situation. I only wish more people were joining him and people with huge sums of money that splurge on themselves were doing more.
With the fast-paced of news today and all the different disasters that are happening around the world, it is easy to forget about Haiti. This country has been ravaged by an earthquake that is completely devastated the country that was already in so much poverty that most of us could never imagine living in conditions even before the earthquake.
Now, Haiti is facing possibilities of a major outbreak of Cholera. As I was watching the news last night, one of the major issues is drinking water. Now the news reporter, was walking around showing how people may be drinking water that may be unsafe. But what choice did they have? It that’s all there is, what do you expect them to drink?
Now the reporter, came to this one house, and wanted to test the water to see if it was safe. He had a test kit with him to be able to quickly determine if the water was safe or not. He was able to determine that the water is not safe unless you add chlorine to it. So he pulled out his handy dandy chlorine packet and put it in the water. Then he tried to explain to the people that they should not drink the water. The explain to them that they should add chlorine to their water before they drink it.
Now this is great and the millions of people are all walking around these chlorine packets. But most of them have never even been educated as to the importance of drinking water and its safety. This is what they’ve known their whole life.
Don’t forget Haiti… Please please please
these people need our help and they need it desperately.
Here is an interview with Sean Penn last night.
