The children of both Haiti and Japan have been devasted by natural disasters. An earthquake in Haiti and an earthquake and tsunami in Japan have left thousands of children homeless and in need of basic items that we take for granted. The biggest stress on the children is the lack of basic services like clean water/food and family members. All of their sense of a normal existence has been taken away. This is very devastating to their psychological development. The experience of losing family, seeing injuried family members or friends and being displaced from their homes and schools is almost too much to bear. Many of the children are scared or afraid that this could happened again. Communities and volunteers from all over the world have dedicated their money,time, and efforts into trying to rebuild and bring some sort of normacy back to the people, but especially the children in these countries.
