I am at my core optimistic about the
possibilities before us and the potential of our
support to help rescue and transform our poorest
neighbor.. The response from citizens of the
United States to the recent events in Haiti has
been overwhelming and encouraging. There is the
promise of solidarity by our leadership to make
long-term commitments to the kinds of investments
needed in Haitiand to fulfilling them. For two
centuries, the Haitian people have struggled for
basic human and economic rights, the right to
health care, the right to education, the right to
work, the right to dignity and independence.
These goals, which Haitians share with people all
over the world, should direct our policies of aid
and rebuilding. Rwanda 7,000 donated by
community health workers Read the vision
