Reaction to Haiti’s Natural Disaster (by Ben Doherty)

We at Exemplar join with the rest of the world in offering our deepest condolences to those affected by the earthquake in Haiti. The ongoing human rights crisis following last week’s natural disaster is astounding. Thousands of people remain trapped within the rubble. Millions have been left homeless scouring the streets. Children suffer without food, water and the securities of home and family. The death toll is unfathomable.

The Exemplar team applauds the efforts of the United States government, our military men and women, and countless medical and emergency response volunteers who are now in country helping with the response.  While we should be extremely proud of our country’s efforts and assistance and the generosity of thousands who have offered assistance in some way or another, let last week’s events serve as a reminder of how fortunate we are to live in the United States and enjoy its abundance of benefits.
