he unusually severe earthquake hit Haiti a few days ago was as if God's voice of shaking the world to bring the attention to the most vulnerable victims on the earth. Not to mention the tragedies brought to the Haitian by the earthquake was a good thing, but the Haitians, particularly the children, finally are receiving the relief and attention from the international community. One can only hope that such disaster becomes a turning point for the international community to further their support for the deliberation of Haitian children from their slavery.
Though the earthquake was such a tragedy, the millions of support for Haitians has been amazing to watch. Nonetheless, the experts worry that the children in Haiti will become more vulnerable to traffickers after the media fervor is over. They also encourage continuous support for Haitian children.

There are going to be a lot of orphans from this disaster, if interntional agencies don't step in quickly to gather them up and take responsibility for them their future will be bleak indeed.

UNICEF is trying to secure a place and education materials for children so that they can ensure the children's attendance to school after settling down from this madness. But, I also saw an article ( I can't really recall the source) that even the aid does not go to the children or the most vulnerable people who are in the worst stage. They are going to come in contact the latest ( if there is any left) with the children who are from the poorest family, in particular the child domestic slaves.

There are organisations like Help For Orphans that offer all sorts of assistance to them, but it needs one that will go in, with UN backing, and take over the childrens welfare needs right from the start, all of them, irrespective of economic backgroud, as you rightly point out, it is the most vulnerable who most need the help, and they're the last to get it.
