Africa gives to Haiti

So C.R.E.A.T.I.V. are all about positivity, especially when it comes to Africa... so I thought it only right to highlight that though Africa is a developing nation some countries contributed to the aid needed in Haiti.

'Nigerians are already part of the UN police mission in Haiti that are assiduously working to rescue people who are missing and trapped in the fallen building structures. The Nigerian Vice President Jonathan Ebele Goodluck has promised to follow up with more assistance. Rwanda and Liberia governments have contributed US $100, 000 and $50,000 respectively. Senegalese government has promised to offer land to Haitians, those that are willing to come to Senegal. And "South Africa - The government has announced a three-phase assistance package: deployment of doctors to a search and rescue team led by Rescue South Africa, a non-profit company; deployment of forensic pathologists to help identify bodies; provision of unspecified humanitarian aid in partnership with South African NGOs".'

C.R.E.A.T.I.V. think that these countries should be recognised for their help. They obviously did not give as much as the US, but they gave what they could. It is a something I think that we as people should emulate.
