MORE ABOUT HAITI
Want To Get Involved? - Read More About Haiti
There are many wonderful books to read to begin
to learn more about Haiti. To gain a wonderful historical perspective, first
read The Uses of Haiti. Written by Dr. Paul Farmer, it provides
a great wealth of information about Haiti -- from its discovery
by Christopher Columbus in December 1492 through the events of 2002. Another
great read any library should contain is Mountains Beyond Mountains. Pulitzer
Prize winner Tracy Kidder writes this book about the life of Doctor Paul Farmer
and his quest to "cure the world." Of course there are numerous other good
books too. This list is just a good start for any collection. Email us at
