MY BIRO SKETCH TITLED : SUFFERING IN HAITI
Haiti was estimated to have 380,000 orphaned children. That number today is even higher.

Before the 2010 earthquake, 80 percent of Haitians were living in poverty. There’s no doubt that number has increased. Many of these families live in homes pieced together with tarps, wood, and scraps of metal. They can’t afford medical care or the cost of books, uniforms, and supplies for their children to go to school. Many of these communities do not even have proper running water, electricity, or sewer systems.
The hardship of hunger abounds amid the stone homes and teepee-like huts in the mountains along Haiti’s southern coast.

The hair on broomstick-thin children has turned patchy and orangish, their stomachs have ballooned to the size of their heads and many look half their age — the tell-tale signs of malnutrition.
Children are unable to attend school due to lack of money for school uniforms, books, and school supplies.Children are suffering from malnutrition because families are struggling to make enough money to put food on the table every day.Families lack basic medical care.Families are living in unsafe or inadequate conditions.
It is very unfortunate
