(NNPA) - In the midst of the rubble that still contains the bodies of loved ones, the real people of Haitian, civil society and NGO leaders, met last month to begin to think about how they would build a new Haiti.  I am on my way to Haiti now to consult with many of those leaders in order to ensure that I and TransAfrica Forum fully understand their reality, their needs and their vision for a new society.  Because I know that Haiti’s full recovery must be based upon their priorities and their needs.  But even while Haitians are beginning to imagine their future, I also know that the reality of day-to-day life in Haiti is overwhelming.
