I made this video as an urgent call for Haiti relief. It took me quite a while to find non-graphic non-bloody images of quake victims because almost all the images were un-presentably graphic.

My Haitian friends and their families are all safe. But their friends were not as lucky as 'em and some lost the whole family.

If I hear of any local charities or church humanitarian operations, I will let you all know. For now, please make donation to the Red Cross or AmeriCares. I donated to Red Cross and Help Earthquake survivors in Haiti on Facebook Causes.

It's quite easy to donate to Red Cross. Text "90999" and $10 will be given automatically to the Red Cross, charged to your cell phone bill. Facebook causes require a credit card.

Please also share Haiti Relief efforts/ charities information from your country with me so I can post their information here. That way people watching this video can donate to those non-profits charities if they lived within that region.

Some countries are not just lucky and Haiti is one of them. Finding survivors from debris is over. Now, it is about keeping those alive survive for another day, another week, another year and so on, especially the kids. Though the children may have survived, their future has been torn and forever changed.

Please share this video and Haiti relief effort with your friends and family. Your compassion can help one life, one family, one community and one country.

Thanks.
Gersing

Song wiki:
"Mad World" is a song by the British band Tears for Fears. Written by Roland Orzabal and sung by bassist Curt Smith, it was the band's third single release and first chart hit, reaching #3 on the UK Singles Chart in November 1982. "Mad World" would achieve a second round of success beginning almost twenty years later, after it was covered by Michael Andrews and Gary Jules for the film Donnie Darko (2001). The song experienced another resurgence in popularity after a version of it similar to the Andrews/Jules arrangement was performed by Adam Lambert on Season 8 of American Idol. A recording of this performance was subsequently released as a digital single and reached the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100 in 2009. This song has been appeared in several TV series.

  • Thank you for the Geography Project (y)

  • great song and great voice. Why I didn't find you before? Thanks to Lay Lay Wah's facebook page where I found your song.

  • @wugufugu Oh no more lol. It just feels great. Listen..just keep giving up the money okay? We appreciate it. Lets just say we're on a 400+ year hiatus. We started giving a fuck about Nov 5th 2008. Sooo um..in about 397 years we'll start getting our shit together. Thanks for the concern though.

  • Haiti dont worry, all people do not possess knowledge. Its astounding the number of idiots which I have come to find all over who blabber nonsense with no general information on Haitis' history. We are just known as dirty people who live in makeshift homes. They can never tear us down and turn us into DR, PR, Jamaica, Hawaii. Please pick up a book you race-baitors and get some knowledge in your thick skulls. Amercans come here to complain about the money they put into Haiti lol serves you right!

  • @wugufugu Lord you are an idiot. Doesnt even matter if you can understand. A country who became the first black black to free themselves,threatened by major powers (US,France etc) to pay 15-16 billion$ in reparations in a time where that amount was unheard of.After which to be put under an embargo? Lol you think youre gonna turn it into Hawaii or Jamaica where you tourists take a shit in the streets ahahah Youll just end up missing. If America would butt out, they wouldnt need to put money IN.

  • @wugufugu AHAHAHHAH yes it should, shouldnt it? You are obviously and itellectual who somehow lacks ...intellect. "Dont" do yourself a favor and find book pertaining to the history of Haiti and why is it like that. Haiti AHAHAHHAHAHA. Did you think you would come here and make me feel some type of way with empty and meaningless words which hold no truth? I say "DONT" do me a favor because you would be embarrassing yourself for me. Maybe you can find yourself a youtube vid or two. Enjoy.

  • @framk20SH These cowards as well as misinformed (cant call them idiots for they do not know) have no idea why Haiti is how it is. They dont teach the truth anywhere I have been or heard Haiti spoken about in a classroom nor a public setting. Absolutely disgusting.

  • Trolling through anything that has to do with black people aaaaaah lol, makes me feel like a movie star. If you knew anything about Haiti, you would know it is the United States and Frenchies fault that they are poor and impoverished. I see many of your comments aiming at uneducated this and that..maybe you should buy a book. As a matter of fact there are many videos depicting the trials and tribulations that these people have been through. Educate yourself and quit looking foolish.

  • @wugufugu when did I say anything about high infant mortality. You're just an idiot. Find something better to do, like fucking one of the 200 sisters you have :D

  • @wugufugu I've never wanted to kill anyone more than I want to kill you
