Below is an excerpt from BBC's website on a collapsed school due to the recent storm that hit Haiti.:

We could only walk into the site.

Standing on top of what was left of the school was very disheartening.

We wanted to use shovels but we couldn't in case the digging caued further collapses and dropped onto the people trapped down below.

We tried to use torches to cut through metal but we could only do a couple.

Everyone felt so frustrated not being able to help. We're all human. You could feel the pain and the anger around; you could hear the mothers crying.

And all we could use was our hands.

Many children were killed in this devastating incident, many birthdays will not be celebrated, many hopes were crushed, many dreams remained dreams. I myself cannot imagine the pain and anguish I would have felt had I a relative in that rubble of stones. While we are happily enjoying life, let us remember these children whose lives were taken, let us have a moment of silence for them. May God bless their souls.
