What Does Haiti Still Need, Ten Months Post-Earthquake? from The Takeaway: Early Edition by feedback@thetakeaway.org (Public Radio International and WNYC Radio)
Ten months after the devastating January earthquake, Haiti still needs support for schools, factories and businesses. In the past few weeks, Haiti has needed better plumbing and medical support for a cholera epidemic. The people of Haiti also need leadership. Despite elections to elect a new president coming this Sunday, there is still no clear frontrunner. We talk with Amy Wilentz, journalist and author of "The Rainy Season: Haiti Since Duvalier" and Nicholas Kristof, columnist for our partner The New York Times, who is traveling around Haiti this week.
