People in Haiti and Chile are trying to clean up the ruins and help the victims. In Haiti, the quake left about 1.5 million people homeless. All those people need food and other supplies.
Teens at schools around the U.S. are working to help the victims. At Evans High School in Orlando, Florida, students have been gathering supplies to send to Haiti. “We have collected a lot of canned goods, water, and other items,” says Rosemonde Emile, 17.
Many students in the school are originally from Haiti. Others, like Rosemonde, have family members who live there. “Everyone is coming together to help,” says Rosemonde.
