Part I--What I already know about my topic **
 * Haiti: The Poorest of Them All**

I know that recently a earthquake in Haiti wounded if not killed many people. This was even worse for the Haitians poor economy. The Haitians can't catch a break and it has been really hard for them. Over 200,000 people have already been declared dead and hundreds of families in Haiti have been separated. Lots of crimes happened in Haiti. Haiti is one of the most densely populated and least developed countries in the Western Hemisphere, the capital of Haiti is Port-Au-Prince have badly injured survivors roam the streets in search of much-needed help. The people of Haiti are poor. Part II--What I Want to Find Out **//. //

When will the people in Haiti be able to live a good life? What can I do to help the people in Haiti? All these questions pop up in my head when I think about Haiti. Also questions like: What if there would be a earthquake in New York? Who would help us? How long will it take us to recover? When will Haiti be able to break through their poor ways of life? What if my family separated because of an earthquake in New York? Am I doing as much as I can to help Haiti? What is the main religion in Haiti? It is Roman Catholic? I think 4 in every 5 Haitians are Roman Catholic, is this true? Part III--The Search **

I choose this website because it seemed very interesting, useful and also it vividly describes Haiti and it vividly describes all of the problems the Haitians are living with Haiti. It really is amazing how much this website describes the life the Haitians are dealing with. This website changed how I think in a huge way. At first I believed that it was hard for the Haitians but after I read the website my point of view changed so much. It was unbelievable how harsh the environment in Haiti is. I was really surprised and now i want to help Haiti even more.

I also choose this website because it makes me so sad and it makes me determined to try to help Haiti and i want everybody to be determined to help Haiti. I hope that the Haitians won't have to deal with these problems for a long time. This website and the website on top really changed my mind and the way I think about Haiti. The struggles the Haitians are dealing with is so amazing. They need us right now and i am determined to help the Haitians. So what will you do to help the Haitians fully recover from the earthquake?

Although this book was written before the earthquake it really vividly describes the life of the Haitians was before the earthquake. After reading this book I can see that the Haitians needed our help even before the earthquake because of the really poor living conditions in Haiti. We should have helped the Haitians even before the earthquake struck Haiti. Martin Hintz does a really good job describing the living conditions that the Haitians had to deal with, which was really really hard because of the lack of communication.

**Interview is not done yet. It will probably be done over the weekend.**


 * Part IV--What I Learned**

What I learned after researching is that the Haitians really need our help. Also one question that pooped up after researching is what if we get hit by a earthquake. Who is going to help us if we aren't helping others? Each person needs to step up and help the Haitians. I also realized that the Haitians need our help more than I thought before I researched my topic for the I-Search.
