Why has it taken so long for Haiti to recover?

On the next Your Call, we'll talk about how Haitians are faring one year after the earthquake. Despite hundreds of NGOs and billions in aid money, Haiti is still struggling with poverty, violence, and disease. Doctors Without Borders says, "It's time for humanitarians to step aside." What does that mean exactly? What are the solutions? Join us live at 10 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. What will it take to rebuild Haiti? It's Your Call, with Sandip Roy and you.

Guests:
Garry Pierre Pierre, editor and publisher of Haitian Times

What Should the "New Haiti" Look Like?

What should the economic reconstruction of Haiti look like? Will importing more low-wage garment factories bring sustainable job recovery, as Hillary Clinton and others advocate? Or is this a chance for rebuilding in a new direction?

Join us live at 11 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. What do you think is the best direction for Haiti's economic recovery? And what is the responsibility of the international community? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.
