Thursday, January 13, 2011 at 9:02PM From E's Musings Blog:
Morning Folks! We have a special blogpost today. A few weeks ago, a journalist asked a Haitian woman at an event, ‘what stories does she think are not being told about Haiti right now?’ The woman replied that she wished there were more stories about the work Haitians are doing in the country themselves. This got me thinking about the Haitians/Haitian Americans I know that have been doing work in the country pre- and post-earthquake. Today I’d like to introduce everyone to a friend, Duquesne Fednard who has been doing some phenomenal and fascinating work in Haiti. I don’t want to steal his thunder, so I’ll let you read the post below. Click here for more.
