I think we will see better vaccines within the next 15 years, but I'm not a scientist and am focused on the short-term - what will happen in the interim.

I'm one of six kids, and the eight of us lived for over a decade in either a bus or a boat.

I think that looking forward it's easy to imagine more constructive help for Haiti.

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.

Again, conventional Catholicism does not much appeal to me.

Haiti was founderd by a righteous revolution in 1804 and became the first black republic. It was the first country to break the chains of slavery, the first to force Emperor Napoleon to retreat, and the only to aid Simón Bolívar in his struggle to liberate the indigenous people and slaves of Latin America from their colonial oppressors.

Some people talk about Haiti as being the graveyard of development projects.
