On March 31 at the U.N. Headquarters in New York, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon co-chaired the Haiti Donors Conference. It was a rare chance to see both the Secretary of State and U.N. Special Envoy to Haiti, her husband former President Bill Clinton, participate together at length in an important event. This was a special event for me since I spent an extended length of time in Haiti and love it as much as the Clintons do.
Tonight, a newsfeed provided this video which was shown at that conference. Consisting partially of footage from security cameras inside the National Palace, it is very hard to watch, but tells an important story. We should not forget that rebuilding Haiti will take a very long time and that continued assistance is necessary. If you have an extra $10, please consider donating. See the sidebar with the Haitian flag. The related posts from the conference are here.
