Children dying in Haiti, victims of food crisis
CHILDREN ARE DYING OF MALNUTRITION. ”their already meager food supply cut by a series of devastating storms that destroyed crops, wiped out livestock and sent food prices spiraling” THESE PEOPLE DONT HAVE THE FUNDS TO BUY FOOD FOR THEMSELFS. AS THEY SAY TO GET TO HAITI THEY EITHER WALK OR GET ON A DONKEY. I JUST CANT BELIEVE HOW LITTLE KIDS LIKE THAT ARE SUFFERING FOR THIS MALNUTRITION. THESE KIDS ARE emaciated. THERES MORE THAN 25 CHILDREN THAT DIED.
THIS INVOLVES THE UN. I ALSO READ IN THIS ARTICLE THAT A PROGRAM FROM THE U.S HELPED THEM WITH MORE THAN 30 TONS OF FOOD AID. ENOUGH FOR 2 WEEKS OF SUPPLY FOR MORE THAN 5,800 PEOPLE. I JUST THINK THIS IS NOT ENOUGH THOUGH. THERES MORE THAN 5,800 CHILDREN IN HAITI. WE SHOULD DO SOMETHING TO HELP THIS CHILDREN. I JUST DONT THINK THIS IS RIGHT. THE CHILDREN ARE OUR FUTURE. AND BY ME SEEING THIS IS DEVESTATING.

L.A. urged to cut funding to libraries and other programs
THE GOVERNMENT IS CUTTING FUNDINGS TO MANY THINGS NOW. NOT ONLY FOR UC SCHOOLS BUT NOW FOR LIBRARIES AND OTHER EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS. OFFICIALS SAY THAT THIS WILL HELP THE US ON ITS BAILOUT SITUATION. I JUST THINK ITS NOT FAIR FOR FOR US AMERICANS TO PAY THE PRICE FOR OTHERWS PEOPLES ACTIONS. THIS IS ALSO NOT FAIR FOR OUR NEXT GENERATION. THIS IS JUST LIKE THE ISSUE WITH THE UC SCHOOLS. THE NEW GENERATION WONT BE ABLE TO TRANSFER OR ENROLL IN SCHOOLS LIKE THE UC’S. THIS MEANS THAT MANY THINGS WILL CHANGE.
THIS IS ONE OF THE QUOTES THAT WAS INTERESTING “$800,000 from the city’s tree-trimming program. The Bureau of Street Services is being asked to spread the cuts equally among the 15 council districts” NOT ONLY WOULD THIS EFFECT THE STUDENTS BUT IT WOULD AFFECT EVERYONE WHO IS OR VISITS THE LIBRARY OR USES THE RESOURCES THAT THIS PROGRAMS THAT WOULD BE CUT. I JUST THINK THIS IS VERY INTERESTING, I JUST THINK THAT WE SHOULD BE MORE INFORM, IN WHY SHOULD THESE FUNDS SHOULD BE REALLY CUT. I THINK THE FINANCIAL CRISIS IS GOING TO GET WORSE THAT WAT
