On Tuesday 12th of January at 16.53pm local time the biggest Earthquake to hit Haiti for 200 years struck with devastating force

Alex is a co-director of 'Haitians helping Haitians' a charity that gives Haitians the means to help themselves, to improve their quality of life. (http://www.hhelpingh.org) Alex Juste was lying on his bed when the earthquake struck: "There was a big shuddering noise, I felt the bed shaking" he says. The walls started opening. I could see right into my neighbours' apartment. I had to see what had happened so I started running. I lost it totally. I was screaming, 'This is the end of the world!' There were people under concrete, saying, 'sir, help me,!' But I couldn't do anything." Alex's experience is typical. No Haitian has been left untouched.
