Today I've been off ill. This morning, I thought I had it bad when I was at home with a bit of man flu. Then I saw the news.

The 50,000 deaths that are rising daily, and some believe could hit 100,000 by next week. The thousands of injuries caused by the rubble. The hundreds of thousands of lives that have been destroyed by the mass devestation to the country. And the millions of people who are witnessing what Haiti, a tiny country in the Carribbean, struggle to cope to the current Apocolyptic conditions they are having to live through.

What can we do? We can join the HAITI EARTHQUAKE APPEAL. With the whole world's eyes watching, there are billions of people who could donate their pocket change to the cause. Haiti is one of the poorest nations in the world, and with bodies littering the streets, disease will hit the nation hard, unless we as a world act fast.

Look at the picture attached to this post. It may seem like a grieving mother, but look deeper. This picture just summarises the situation. The rubble across the streets; the large slabs of concrete coating what could uncover an even worse scenario. And resting on the top are two bodies, just lying in the baking sun. People walking past looking at them, without a care in the world. The reason being, this is the scene on every street corner. This is what encounters every single Haitian on every single street.

We need to unite. We need to come together, and support the people in need. We need to join with our enemies, and become a united front, in order to eradicate this scene of horror. Please please please donate in some form - a penny is still a penny. If you live in the UK, you can do it via the DEC (http://www.dec.org.uk/), or through places such as Oxfam (http://www.oxfam.org.uk)

And if this hasn't convinced you yet, just look at these pictures. If you have a decent bone in your body, you will understand where this grief is from, and you'll help these poor people out.

I beg you, if you do one good deed in the whole of this year, make sure it is donate to the Haiti appeal. They need us more than ever.

HAITI EARTHQUAKE APPEAL, you are the Day Dedicatee for Friday 15th January 2010.
