Thursday Video: Stand with Haiti
In Haiti, the rainy season is setting in, making rivers in the rubble. Last week, flooding south of the capital killed dozens. With more than a million people homeless and exposed to the elements, the support of the international community is just as crucial today as it was on January 12th.
This week's Thursday video reminds you of the stories we've told you since the quake. Stories of kids like Rodrigue, who lost both his parents and Anne, whose school was destroyed along with her home"the Foye Zanmi orphanage. But there have been happy outcomes too"children who have been reunited with UNICEF's aid or have gone back to school under UNICEF's tents.
U.S. Fund President Caryl Stern visited Port-au-Prince last week, playing her part in UNICEF's efforts on the ground there. A presence in Haiti since well before the earthquake, UNICEF is the lead agency in coordinating water and sanitation services to the displaced camps, providing health and nutrition interventions for women and children in need, and keeping vigil over children who have lost their own protectors.
