Remembering Haiti and those who died
Jan 15, 2013
KINGSTON, Jamaica - IT'S been three years since our sister Caribbean country Haiti was hit by a powerful earthquake that killed more than 300,000 people and devastated infrastructure. Quite appropriately, the Haitian Government ordered that the anniversary be observed with the Haitian flag flown at half mast and that nightclubs and similar establishments close, instead of a national holiday, as was done for the past two years. We believe that the anniversary of a tragedy of such monumental proportions should always serve as a time for survivors, and those who arrived in this world after, to reflect, pay tribute to the victims, and commit to the most basic acts of humanity.
