]]> Comment on Inspiring Haiti trip shows the way forward by Steve http://www.groundswellinternational.org/sustainable-development/haiti/inspiring-haiti-trip-shows-the-way-forward/#comment-52 Steve Thu, 24 Feb 2011 20:31:51 +0000 http://groundswellinternational.org/?p=809#comment-52 Chris, A nice summary of your recent trip, and I could not agree with you more. When I've gone to Haiti I've always left inspired, despite the seemingly unsurmountable conditions that families and communities are facing. The Haitian people are the country's greatest resource! I am not surprised that Cantave and the colleagues at PLD continue to be so clear about that! Un abrazo andino, Steve Chris,
