In Haiti on 13 January 2010, a devastating earthquake hit Haiti. Over 200, 000 people died and over a millions had lost their homes.

A teenage boy from Haiti living in the US, Herold Charles, used Twitter to help reunite families and  get help sent to those trapped in rubble. He was recognized for his efforts with a nomination for a TeenNick Halo Award,  that recognizes teens who make a difference in their communities.
