Haiti hass been hit by a massive recently in year 2015, an estimated amount of 230,000 people had died because of this crisis. Nearly 40 search-and-rescue team and more than 1,700 staff workers were helping the victims, water supplies and tents had increased. For 200,000 victims food were given daily from the U.S army and the World Food Program. Moreover, cure for AIDS need to be produced. Without these help, tons of human rights will be took away from them. And it will also be an impact on the Millenium Developement Goals. Without help, their right to have security, their right to have access to food and water will be disturbed and women's right for protection over sexual violence will also be disturbed. This means, it will be hard to achieve the millenium goals. Right now, without help, the goal to ensure environmental sustainability, goal to combat Hiv/Aids and other diseases, goal to have education to children, and most critically, goal to prevent proverty will be hard.
Without help, it is nearly impossible to recover. At this situation, hospital, school, houses, buildings, forest, farmland... everything is all destroyed. Massive amount of people will die in hunger and effect the population pyramid. Then it will also have an effect for governing the country. Moreover, they cannot make profit from tourism since most of their monuments has also been destroyed.
Most of the countries now existing today will probably rebuild faster than Haiti. Haiti is in an extreme disadvantage at this point. Haiti is one of America's poorest countries, and looking at the history, it is said that they had a challenge in the government. But most importantly, many people is and had struggled for education. It is impossible for them to recover by themselves when they are not educated.
Game: Ayiti-Cost of Life
When I first played this game, it was really hard for me to stay alive. It made me think that we really need to help victims from the earthquake in Haiti. This is a game where we needed to think how we need to make really important decisions for each family members rather to study, or work. I had chose 'money' as my primary objective because we needed money to be educated which is the most important part of this game.
This game was really hard because earning or saving money was very difficult. Which made it hard for me to educate the people. When I tried both working and studying, I ran out of money, but when I only worked, my health had gone down. The solution for all of this problem was getting a job that is healthy, and makes lots of money. Turn by turn, I send one of the family members to the clinic in order for them to keep on working. Now I know why many parents are desperate to educate their kids, because it is really hard for them to survive without education. It really showed a difference between my country because mostly all of the kids go to school, and even have about 5 tutions! On the other hand, Haiti has no money for sending kids to school.
In my opinion, I think to make more education for Haiti, they must reduce the cost of going to school, tutions. Right now, people are short-term thinking, where they are targetting only the profit they make now. However, when most of the people are educated, the next generation will have money to spend for more professional education.
Overall, I think people must think about the 8 millenium goals, especailly education and food. Other than that, we must fight for Aids, and the environment.
