In-Depth Reporting from Haiti Brings More Disturbing News
As one of the co-founders of the Sustainable Haiti Coalition, I’ve been feeling guilty lately about how little time I’m able to spend on sustaining our initiatives in Haiti. The demands of the local situation, especially after Hurricane Sandy, and following several financially-disastrous years for many of us, have diminished the hope of leading a […]

Haiti’s History Revisited
Haiti’s Tragic History By ADAM HOCHSCHILD Published: December 29, 2011 For the better part of two centuries, outsiders have been offering explanations that range from racist to learned-sounding — the supposed inferiority of blacks, the heritage of slavery, overpopulation — for why Haiti remains the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. None of these work: […]

Trip Update & Sustainable Haiti Conference Apr 4-6 in Miami
The Team Heads to Haiti “Co-founder Jonathan Cloud, along with colleagues Matt and Sandy Polsky, head out fearlessly in stormy weather…” Good thing we still have a sense of humor, as it looks like we’ll need it.
