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.

  1. It was great to see there was a new plan to help more Haitians recover from the disaster. The new plan was very important to Haitians, because it mean that one more child sitting in a classroom and one more crops that came to fruition. In the future, Haiti should focuses on disaster management to improve the sustainable future. Also educated youth will help their country’s economic rise up .So the Nongovernmental Organizations should continue give support to the Haitian help them get basic needs and promote healthy lifestyle.

  2. Rebuilding an entire nation after a devastating natural disaster can be a very long and difficult process. In order for the country to recover successfully, the nation must first and foremost have adequate resources. Because Haiti is a developing nation and in 2010, it ranked 145 out 182 countries, the rebuilding of the nation would be impossible without the help of NGOs. Since Haiti is now starting again anew with the help of many outside organizations, there is hope of change to bring the country to a better state than before the earthquake.

  3. It’s great that the cleanup in Haiti has been halfway completed. However we must remember we still have halfway more to go. We must continue in the efforts to clean up Haiti in order for it to reach its original standing.
