One evening for Haiti !
by Lara Kortzak (BvA)
On 12th January 2010, a big earthquake hit Haiti and killed a lot of people and a lot of them are missing. Until today, we don´t know exactly, but approximately 300.000 people died. Many people lost their homes, children and families! Now they need a lot of money to build up their country and to come back to their “old lives”.
Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the world and that is another reason why they need a lot of money, now and in the next few years. More than before.
Before the earthquake happened a lot of the people didn´t have jobs or enough food and they lived in unstable shacks.
Because of this dreadful occurrence some of our students want to organize an event to collect money for Haiti. Their hope is to make an evening with good presentations in our school and to inform the guests about the situation in this country. The money which they collect will go to the people who are in need in Haiti. They dont´t know an exact date but it will be in in this school year. Their headmaster and their teachers are a good support.
We all are very excited and happy about this idea.
