D&E Founder Discusses Haiti Stove Project on E's Musings Blog

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.

"It is common for immigrants in the United States to send money and resources back to their homeland. For many though, sending money is not enough. Instead, they share a common dream: to improve life for those still living in the communities from which they came. We meet foreign students studying in the US and first-generation immigrants who are taking the skills learned in America back to create innovative projects on the ground in Haiti, Cameroon and Ecuador."
