Six months ago, one of the worst tragedies in human history occurred on the impoverished country of Haiti.

Six months ago, 230,000 to 300,000 people were killed in a magnitude-7 earthquake that left over 1.6 million people homeless.

Six months ago, people all around the world came together and raised over $3.1 billion in humanitarian aid to support the relief efforts in Haiti.

At that time, many of us were glued to our televisions and iPhones watching Anderson Cooper on CNN or horrific images on YouTube.

Six months later, it seems as if all the rubble and debris of Haiti has been pushed aside to heated discussions about how many championships the Miami Heat will win with LeBron James or about the final episode of MTV's 'The Hills.'

Six months later, the latest information on the relief efforts is absent from most mainstream media outlets and from conversations in barbershops or in coffee houses.
