I read about a school in Haiti collapsing on November 9th. Rescuers scurried in search for victims, some rescuers included those from the U.S. The collapse crushed about eighty-eight adults and children and one hundred and fifty people have been treated for injuries, making many wonder about the stability of the country. Also, about five hundred kids crowded the school that morning. This event also brought a lot of global attention, which regularly would be ignored. The president, Rene Preval, said he blamed the government and lack of respect for the law. Rene Preval, the president of Haiti, said, "There is a code already, but they don't follow it. What we need is political stability." (President Rene Preval). Some were even saying that they need to rebuild the city altogether. Haiti's country consists poorly constructed schools and shabby churches. Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, has had many struggles this year, including riots and many hurricanes.
