Four Months After Haiti Earthquake: Need Continues

More than a million people remain homeless from the January earthquake as hurricane season looms over the Caribbean country of Haiti. The homeless, the hungry, those struggling to survive myriad challenges make up the images of the picture of Haiti four months after the earthquake. The need is everywhere – if an area was not directly hit, it has been affected by the migration of those looking for food, for water, for more than a tarp over their heads and dirt under their backs when they finally lay down at night.
"If there is one thing that everyone should know about the efforts to help the people in Haiti, it is that the need is ever-present, and we will be doing this work for a long time," said Robin Mahfood, President/CEO of Food For The Poor. "The people are struggling day-to-day, and we are their only hope. While we are working hard to meet their needs, we have to do more and make it happen more quickly for them. We need everyone’s help."
