Reading about Haiti, the earthquake, the cholera epidemic, the president elections can be a harrowing experience. When reading your blog, which has some interesting posts, I found that I wanted to read more - to find out more about Duvalier and other leaders, the reasons for the country's lack of progress, what's happening now. You blogged most in January, but only twice in Feb and nothing in March. There is so much more to say, and I hope you'll follow events over the next couple of years or so.
I like the fish and the video bar, but think too you could have made better use of images and created other links to sites discussing Haiti - even aid agencies, there are many.
Nonetheless, you successfully completed a blog and followed and issue.
Well done.

A good time to take stock and re-focus
Tamara, you have posted on some key events, but your postings still tend to be sporadic - the good news is you posted twice this week, but you need to do that every week, if you're going to be able to follow - and trend - events in any kind of meaningful way. Make sure when you post, you give credit (create a link - or state in the body of your text) as to where you have taken the information from.
You also need to begin to draw events together: how do the presidential elections affect and impact the crisis. What about Duvalier (I asked you to post on him in my post)? What impact will he have on developments? Why is he there? What does this say about Haitian politics, and the history of the country? which it would be nice to know more about in the form of graphics and time-lines. There must be dozens on line.
Stick with it, T. Lots to do.

Return of Duvalier - Big News
The return of 'Baby Doc' (Jean Claude Duvalier), the former dictator of Haiti is important, if unsettling news, and is something you should comment on. He fled the country 26 years ago to France, and was, it appears, responsible for numerous crimes against humanity.
This is also the one-year anniversary of the earthquake, a good time to review progress to date.
