Feeling Secure Despite Thousands Homeless
February 2, 2010
This morning my colleague and I met with an architectural engineer who specializes in building schools. More about this very positive meeting later. We met at a nice hotel which is very convenient. Hotel Kinam is filled with internationals from around the world with fancy 4-wheel drives parked out front and in their lot. I continue to be amazed that despite having thousands of homeless people living right across the street in Petion-Ville center in extremely difficult conditions, that there’s not the need for heavily armed guards and security gates or even a door to protect internationals with plenty of means from homeless people dealing with scarcity.

Haiti Partners in national media
January 29, 2010
Here are two different interviews I (Kent) have done with national media about our response in Haiti. Both shows approached the subject with a lot of respect. I recommend them for these Haiti stories — and also as two great shows when they’re doing other stories. Links here:
First, a 10-minute clip on Canadian national TV with George Stroumboulopoulos on “The Hour.” George asks about the work, about Pat Robertson, and other good questions: http://www.cbc.ca/video/#/Shows/The_Hour/ID=1396404451
Second, a 12-minute radio interview (player at the bottom of the page after you click on the link) on NPR’s “The Story” that also includes a couple of interviews with friends in Port-au-Prince. The segment on Haiti Partners is the first 12 minutes of the hour-long show: http://thestory.org/archive/the_story_959_Haiti_Partners_.mp3/view
Each of these interviews include new footage and interviews from Haiti after the earthquake.
