It’s amazing to me that we’re supposed to understand Haiti without ever hearing from Haitians. - Beverly Bell

Kate and Ali talk with Beverly Bell about the current situation in Haiti. Beverly reports that Haitians themselves do have a clear and strong agenda for their future, despite a lack of coverage in US media. While living conditions for many remain dire, Haitians recognize the opportunity to build a better Haiti from the ground up. The question is, will international organizations seek input from Haitians regarding Haiti’s future? So far the answer is no.
