Haiti is among the poorest nations in the world and the poorest nation in the western hemisphere.  Before the earthquake the average Haitian would live on less than 2-3 dollars per day.  One missionary recently said this on twitter, “The worst effects are emotional… no smiles on the street and a sense of despair.” Haiti [...]
