Hurricane Relief for Haiti & Cuba
By: The Global Exchange

Over the month of November, Cuba and Haiti have been hit with many devastating hurricanes. In Haiti over 1,000 died and about one million are homeless due to flooding. In Cuba, 30,000 homes have been destroyed and the land is ruined. I thought this article was very well written because it starts by stating the facts about how the hurricanes and tropical storms have devastated people and their homes and also tells information about the storms. This article is not very long and does not waste time with useless information. Compared to other natural disasters, this one is probably up there on the list of ones that has affected people the most. In the article it lists some things that you can do to help them with the problems they are facing and it also tells you what other countries are doing to help.
