Before earthquake

Haiti is a country suffering with one of the worst problems, which is poverty and extreme poverty. Many of the rights are being broken there along with more and more people in poverty. People in poverty is suffering from drinking water that is not clean and getting food from their farms, which is not often the best food to eat. They give birth in order to grow the family and get more money, however the case is that the babies get malaria and often die. When families have children, they often send them off onto the streets to do low paying jobs and sometimes get into the wrong kind of job such as joining a gang, prostitution, etc. Many of the children don’t receive any education because they don’t have enough money or that the parents want their children to earn money instead of getting schooled. But without education children would not succeed in life which then leads to a cycle of which poverty. When Haitians get sick with diarrhea, dehydration, Malaria, etc the public clinics in Haiti are terrible because they don't have access to water and have bad quality medicine. They share needles because they can't afford injections. People are also in extreme poverty because they don’t receive any education or that they are homeless and cant get a job.



After earthquake

Haiti is in worse conditions due to loss of possessions and loss of homes. The country was hit with a magnitude of 7.0. It is said that because of the earthquake, 67 % of the people their went from poverty to extreme poverty. Tens of thousands of people died due to the earthquake. Because the Haitians had such poor quality houses/shelters, the earthquake shattered the houses into a mountain of trash. Many countries try to help rebuild shelters for the Haitians and get them basic needs however they do not receive enough help to get the people out of poverty. Basically everything became worse as they tried to fight against hunger and survival

Because Bill Gates did all of this helpful things to people all over the world, I think he would be one of the top 10 most influential people in the world.







Oprah Winfrey
She went through a tough childhood experiencing segregation and poverty. Now that she is famous and rich all over the world on television, many people were influenced especially black people that there is still hope and that anyone not caring about their skin color can achieve anything.

Susan Boyle
She was once a no body until she came on to the show Britain's Got Talent in 2009. She sang Oprah on stage and was apparently really good. She was famous for her talented singing.

After showing everyone that she has a really good talent, other people who look different from everyone else (Fat, ugly, etc) felt they had hope because Susan Boyle showed everyone else wrong.
