Today, as you probably know, is the one year anniversary of the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that devastated the capitol city, Port-au-Prince.
Last night PBS ran a series of programs about Haiti. I was able to catch Frontline’s Battle for Haiti, a look at the connection between gang violence, gangs, and politicians, and how this impacts the rebuilding of Haiti. It was a pretty bleak picture. You can watch the program at the link provided.
A few links for more information:
- NPR’s A Year of Challenges: Haiti After The Quake
- CBS’s Progress in Haiti 1 Year Later
- Take this quiz. For every person who takes the quiz, a child in Haiti will receive a warm meal.
I’ll be back later with a post about the usual stuff (snow, my daily outdoor adventure, etc.).
