Alexandra meets Kiki Joachin – ‘Heartbroken after Haiti Visit [Photos]

While there she met 7-year-old Kiki Joachin, who was rescued after being trapped under rubble for days.

Burke said:

The desperation of so many people has broken my heart. Kiki is the bravest person I’ve ever met.

You see the poverty and destruction in the papers or on the news, but nothing prepares you for this.

It’s like being punched in the stomach.

I just hope millions buy the ‘Everybody Hurts’ single. This is a whole country on its knees.

I feel really guilty to get on a plane and return home, leaving all these people.

But what we’ve seen was magical. I saw kids smiling and adults making the best of a bad situation.
