Rebuilding Haiti: Still a work in progress. Five years after a 7.0-earthquake shattered Port-au-Prince and most of its surrounding cities, Haiti is still struggling to rebuild amid a political crisis and disappearing donor funding.

Of course weâre aware of the earthquake of January 2010, which killed many thousands and displaced still more. Many of us think still of Haiti as an impoverished island nation strewn with tent cities and rubble, a third-world country in need of charity. Thatâs part of Americaâs mainstream view. Foxâs âThe Mindy Projectâ even recently used Haiti as the backdrop for the charity work of the protagonist and her minister boyfriend.
