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

Marie Ange St Laurent, (wearing white) and her family, at the funeral of Ronald St Laurent. "Ronald was thirty-one years old when he died. His home fell down on top on him during the earthquake We were all inside but Ronald did not have time to get out. We must thank God for the opportunity at least, to bury him properly. I feel sorry for the thousands of families who do not have this chance, many cannot find their loved ones. It will be hard for them to move on, it's double the problem. At least we can visit and put flowers on the grave. After the quake, there were bodies everywhere many were burnt where they lay or carted off in huge trucks to mass graves."
