 * Thesis**: The recovery from the earthquake in Haiti is still many years away.
 * Summary**: Haiti has been through a lot of hard times. There are many reasons Haiti is going to be a work in progress from their recovery from the earthquake. Haiti's government was not in good condition before the earthquake. People in Haiti have very limited resources. A lot of the money they have been given is not used correctly. Haiti can have a lot of potential if their government spends their money wisely. Even though they will have natural disasters to come because of their location, if they take the right steps right now they can dodge a lot of damage later. Haiti's recovery is on its way and any little thing we do as individuals can benefit Haiti greatly.
