“The Haitian people still have hidden resources and they are getting organized to avoid being relegated to a forgotten emergency. Every day we are able to witness great creativity, the discovery of new talents and inventiveness by artists, artisans and traders in the informal sector…This tragedy could be a lesson for all. It could become a new school of Humanity, as it were, a microcosm to cradle the total development of peoples…” [Monsignor Pierre André Dumas, bishop of the dioceses of Anse-à-Veau and Miragoâne and director of Haitian Caritas, in a reflection sent to MISNA, about the reconstruction of Haiti and its future in the wake of the January 12 earthquake.
