Rebuilding Haiti (YP Discussion Group)

Rebuilding Haiti (YP Discussion Group)

The World Affairs Council, Young Professionals invite you to our fortnightly discussion group:

It has been more than a year since the earthquake that devastated Haiti. The return of Duvalier briefly pushed Haiti back into the news cycle, but accounts of the recovery have been scarce. Has there been significant progress in the last year? Has the U.S. and rest of the international community done enough to help? How does a country with so many political, economic, and environmental issues rebuild itself?

found an interesting video that touches on our earlier discussion about food aid and what it has done to Haiti's economy.
