One year after the catastrophic 7.0 earthquake on Jan 12, 2010, Haiti's reconstruction has barely begun and it is now a nation of thousands displaced people and of amputees - people whose limbs were amputated so they could be extricated from the rubble or to stop a dangerous infection - with corpses still being found under tons of rubble...if that wasn't enough, Haiti is fighting a cholera outbreak.
Have a look at this ITN video with images of then and now and a message of resilience coming from a local soccer team:
You can find so much more on Haiti but here is a selection:

About Me
- Teacher Alex
- Portugal
- I am from Coimbra, Portugal, and am currently teaching in a school in Soure, about 30 km away from Coimbra. I have been a teacher of English for over 20 years and have already taught different levels and age groups. After all this time I can say I love working with adult groups because there are no coursebooks and I can create my own resources. I am an avid reader, a blogger and very curious about free tools and their implementation in the classroom.
