Haiti After The Earthquake

October 16, 2011
When the January 12, 2010 earthquake laid waste to Haiti, killing hundreds of thousands of people, it forever altered that country. "Haiti After the Earthquake" bears witness to the experiences of the injured and displaced, telling the stories of both those who survived and those who did not. Dr. Paul Farmer, the UN Deputy Special Envoy for Haiti and Chair of the Department of Global Health, was at work on a development plan in Haiti when the earthquake hit the country. Suddenly, his project was transformed into a massive international rescue and relief effort, which Farmer and his colleagues chronicle in this (audio) book. Now their project was transformed into a massive international rescue and relief effort.
