To us brazilians there is another tragedy:

Zilda Arns, a 75 year old woman founder of a major institution called "Pastoral da Criança" that helps millions of children in my country was giving a lecture in Port-au-Prince and died when the roff of the building she was in collapsed.

She was doing treemendous work not by simple assistencialism. Their group didnt just give aid. They taught mothers how to take care of children, better higyene., etc.

She made a difference on the lives of millions of people. About 240,000 volunteers work for her institution.

Its really bad news, I live in Chile and the Chilean peace forces have been really participant in helping Haiti, there are currently 2 chilean women missing in Haiti, both were helping and one was the wife of a commander of the peace forces.

Its really sad that after many countries in the region have helped Haiti in the last years a tragedy like this comes and stomps on all that work.

Edit: its a Generals wife.
