AWESOME BLOG!!! I Love your blog!!! (also your writing about haiti... it's so sad:()
Anyway, thanks for commenting on my blog!!!
Maria, this is an assignment well done. It is so well done it is depressing to read, and I'm not at all happy about the US being involved to some degree with keeping them in poverty. I'm glad we're helping today. Keep up the good work.
