Some people talk about Haiti as being the graveyard of development projects.
I mean, everybody should have access to medical care. And, you know, it shouldn't be such a big deal.
The idea that because you're born in Haiti you could die having a child. The idea that because you're born in you know Malawi your children may go to bed hungry. We want to take some of the chance out of that.
The idea that some lives matter less is the root of all that is wrong with the world.
...In a world riven by inequity, medicine could be viewed as social justice work.
I've been impressed, over the last 15 years, with how often the somewhat conspiratorial comments of Haitian villagers have been proven to be correct when the historical record is probed carefully.
