OK, the IBESR and UNICEF “proposed law” meeting that was supposed to take place on Thursday, I don’t think happened. It is difficult to know what is rumor and what is fact. And what is rumor may just have the wrong dates but will take place eventually! I would not be surprised if there [...]

(Tom wrote) Those of us who were involved with Haiti on Jan. 12, 2010 will always remember 4:53 PM that afternoon. That’s the time when, for 35 seconds, the earth shook violently under Port Au Prince Haiti. Hundreds of thousands died on that day and shortly after and for literally millions of people, the world [...]
