Progress in Haiti

It's been a bit over six months since the earthquake in Haiti, and all the news most people are hearing is negative. Progress isn't being made, the streets are still filled with rubble, thousands remain homeless, recovery is paralyzed.

A lot of these things are true in some ares of Haiti. But there's more. The reporters saying these things are primarily in Port au Prince because that's where much of the destruction took place. There were more buildings before the quake and thus, today there is more rubble. There's a lot of red tape involved in relief, and in many cases it's easier to get things accomplished outside of the cities. There's space available to construct temporary shelters, there's land to create shelter communities, there are people who escaped the chaos of the city-- there's room for progress-- and I assure you, that progress is being made.

This video is a bit long, but you can see for yourself, good things are happening.
