By now, reports and images from the earthquake that ripped through the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince on January 12th have reached almost everyone. The plight of the Haitian people, 80 percent of whom were already living in poverty, has attracted a tremendous outpouring of sentiment and support from the United States as millions of Americans have pledged donations for the Haitian relief effort.
