oh those poor Haitians.

oh gosh it is H here and I want to tell you guys about the harshness of the world. there are people in Haiti that are starving. so many people and places have no food is is disgusting. We lucky americans have food to spare and clothes and HOMES. Today i took a class field trip to FMSC, (feed my starving children) a non profit organization that helps people all over the world that have no food. there were about 8 stations that had rice, soy, dried veggie bits and chicken powder, a funnel so you can put the food in a bag and 2 scales to make sure the food was the correct weight, a sealer that melded the bag closed and tons of boxes to put the food in. I worked with 9 other kids to pack 11 boxes in 2 hours. each box has 36 packets and each packet contains enough food to last 3-4 meals. all together the 2 classes that participated had 60 boxes. that is enough to feed 36 kids for a year. all my math fans out there are going to create tons of math questions about this.   :D

but anyway, I need you guys to know how thankful you, and I, should be. say please and thank you. Help a stranger when they trip on a rock. pick up a pencil that the kid next to you dropped. just be nice to others and you will be set for life. this stuff is called common courtesy- and it is just wonderful. We saw a video when a very thin woman took 3 packets, (when they normally get a box) walked back to literally a bunch of furs and blankets held up by sticks, poured it all into a pot and served anyone who came by. there was none left for her. That is amazing. The world needs more people like that you know. you can be one of them. just be kind to everyone you see, young or old, friends or strangers, sick or healthy, rich or poor, just give a hand. we are all people. and we all need help sometimes.
