Default One year Anniversary of Port Au Prince Earth Quake

http://news.ca.msn.com/top-stories/c...entid=27215336

A year later, and things are still pretty chaotic in Haiti.

Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive said the death toll from the quake was more than 316,000, raising the figures from previous estimates on the first-year anniversary of the disaster. The victims included 58 Canadians. One million people were left homeless, and about 800,000 of them still live in makeshift tent cities.

Given the state of things in that country, I suspect the population of those tent cities to grow. On the news tonight they claimed some charity tried to send 18 wheel chairs to that country...held up in customs until a $5000 import tax per wheel chair is paid. The recent election there was an absolute disaster too.
