Amid recent events — the Olympics and the hype of Snooki’s arrival — it’s easy for students to forget that Haitians still need aid, be it money, food or medical attention.

It is important students and capable activists stay focused on the issue at hand; those in need should not be forgotten, simply because they’ve fallen from the limelight.

While it’s unrealistic to expect anyone to constantly donate, effective aid doesn’t stop after the first month; it is a steady stream of funds that help with new developments. Even though Haiti’s most immediate dangers have passed, schools have collapsed and the infrastructure lies broken. More than ever, Haiti needs manpower to reconstruct its foundations.
