President Preval calls for more than just charity

In response to the series of hurricanes that have struck Haiti this summer and fall, President Preval thanks the international community for its assistance, but calls for more than just "charitable" contributions to Haiti's recovery.

Preval is asking for latitude from debt holders and international development partners for the government to adopt policies that will lead to true rebuilding, such as infrastructure investments, and rebuilding of the rural economy.

We at Haiti Reborn support the immediate and unconditional cancellation of Haiti's debt to allow this national project of rebuilding to occur. Wouldn't it be nice to see Haiti's government spending the money to rebuild rather than sending 1 million per week to repay the debts of dictators past?
