Haiti Progress, May 2012: Growth and transition

By Karl Johnson | Communications Associate

May 2012. As the conversations on the ground shift from "disaster relief" to "long-term recovery," we take a look at how our operations fit into the scheme. See the update below featuring our Program Coordinator for how the rest of 2012 and beyond will shape up for the Rebuilding Center. For Port-au-Prince residents, don't miss Leslie Voltaire's presentation at tonight's Meet n Greet (details below).
