Here in St.Louis, the horror of the earthquake in Haiti and its toll on people is featured daily in local newspapers, on radio and television. Synagogues, churches, schools and The Symphony Orchestra, along with supermarkets, restaurants and other specialty shops are raising money for the rescue effort.
Families seeking news about missing relatives use cellphones, or twitter or anything that could help bring them word of what is happening. Some get good news. Some get news of incomprehensible loss. Organizations, such as "Meds and Food for Kids" and "Wings of Hope" and others stationed here in St. Louis are working to get through with relief efforts. None of this is unique or exceptional. The whole world has come together to help lessen the awful plight of people without resources who have been hit by the full fury of nature.
In doing so, Haiti, in its hour of need, has made all of us citizens of the global community.
