Haiti's Recovery

Close to two years post the detrimental earthquake that hit Haiti, cleanup efforts have reached almost 50%.  Cleaning up close to half of the debris that was left from the natural disaster, aid relief is making progress in restoring the nation to it “normal” state.  From the help from Nongovernmental Organizations internationally and the Haitian government, efforts to relieve the aftermath of the earthquake as well as future preventative plans are being created.  The return of children to schools is one of the most important tasks to accomplish in returning Haiti to its pre-earthquake condition.  Ensuring there is an educated youth will promote the prosperity of the Haitian society.  Moreover, with the removal of debris from public, the public are able to return to their homes, at least what is left of them.  Displaced from their homeland, the Haitians or temporary refugees were faced with the adversity of surviving in the grim conditions. Refugees typically are limited in their availability to resources and health care.  Cleaning the debris and wreck from Haiti allows the return of the citizens and potentially the start to a better life than that of what they had living in their displaced locations.  The aid reliefs from the outside as well as inside efforts in Haiti are resulting in the functional return of the country.  Both the return of the indigenous to the land and the return of students to schools will continue forth setting Haiti with a successful recovery and future.
