Mexico has been struck with 2 earthquakes in the past week, one in Mexico City and the other in the Oaxaca region. Both causing destruction and leaving tragedy in their wake. The death toll now reaching about 319. Buildings collapsed in a matters of seconds it was terrifying and surreal, it looked like something straight out of a movie. Much of the old architecture like churches were left in rambles and are ruined.

With all the sadness and heartache in Mexico, there has been a ray of hope. People from not only all over the country but from other countries in the world have come to offer Mexico a helping hand.

It was the pictures of volunteer civilians that first moved me, and then to see too the rest of world responded was honestly beautiful. This is the Mexico I love so much. People forming human chains to carry victims, volunteering regardless if you were personally affected, serving food for free, and putting others before you.

It fills my heart with so much joy to see all the love and support Mexico is receiving. This is what I love about my beautiful country, we come together in our time of need. It doesn't matter if you're equipped, or strong enough; any help is cherished. In a time where so much tragedy has hit various parts of world, seeing this gives me hope for humanity. As cliché as it sounds , I have never been more proud seeing all these countries coming together. It is truly inspiring and should be seen as an example of what can happen when we put our differences aside and unite.

This is what we need to be seeing more of on the news and media. Love instead of hate. Coming together for the common good . It is sad that the only time we see things like this is when tragedy strikes. But hopefully this serves as a message to the world that when things get hard the solution is to come together.
