As we mark the 15th anniversary of the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti, this week on Notes from the World we speak with Louino Robillard, a Haitian social activist who was born in Saint-Raphaël, in Haiti’s north, and raised in Cité Soleil, one of the most populous neighborhoods of Haiti’s capital, Port-au-Prince, and also one of its most deprived. The driving force behind a number of organizations in Haiti including the Konbit Solèy Leve, Konbit Bibliyotèk Site Solèy and Pak Nan Ginen, he focuses on peacebuilding initiatives in urban neighborhoods and on sustainable development in the Haitian countryside, with a particular focus on reforestation. He joins us today from Cap-Haïtien.
Notes From the World
Politics, culture, society and, always, cats and dogs. "Entre nous et le ciel, l'enfer ou le néant, il n'y a donc que la vie, qui est la chose du monde la plus fragile."
