Six Months On, Haiti Still Covered in Rubble

A half a year after a devastating earthquake claimed at least 222,570 lives, the work of rebuilding Haiti is still in the early stages. Helpers have traveled to the country from around the world, but reconstruction has barely progressed. In many parts of the country, people have simply moved on with their lives amidst the rubble.

Daniel Strode, a man likes to describe himself as being a bit like a cockroach, is also the man who helped Haiti to regain its independence. To do so, he had to tear down a wall and part of a ceiling. Every step taken in this building was potentially life threatening. In the end, though, he found the giant stone plaque, hanging at a height of three meters.
