What does Haiti still need, ten months post-earthquake?
Ten months after the devastating January earthquake, Haiti still needs support for schools, factories and businesses. In the past few weeks, Haiti has needed better plumbing and medical support for a cholera epidemic.
The people of Haiti also need leadership. Despite elections to elect a new president coming this Sunday, there is still no clear frontrunner. We talk with Amy Wilentz, journalist and author of “The Rainy Season: Haiti Since Duvalier” and Nicholas Kristof, columnist for our partner The New York Times, who is traveling around Haiti this week.
