If you want to be a citizen you have many ways to become a citizen. If you born in a country, you already are a citizen in that country.

Haiti

Pick one personal story.
Write a reflection or response answering the following questions.
–What is this story about?
–What is important to them about the story they picked?
–What does this story have to do with what is happening in Haiti now?
–Why should we care about what is happening in Haiti?
–What does this have to do with global citizenship?

This story is about Haiti of natural disaster, there was many people die, they was no food or water to eat or drink, many people because no food to eat, and earthquake die. Their was no help, they don’t have hospital, they don’t have perfection facilities. I think this story was very important, it can help us to know how lucky was we, and tell us how important was “life”, how frailty was human.

Human are not our think that much strong, the human was very frailty, just like flower, or other little animal. Earth just rock a while, people die many. How frailty was. Human must unite together, so I think we must care about Haiti.
