Because this story is refreshingly different:

Because this is written by Haitian social activists, about trauma and death and a commitment to fight for lasting change:

Because this is one of the things they're fighting for (and one of the most glaring failures of Haiti's so-called 'reconstruction'):

Because Haiti is still oh so much more than an earthquake and ill-spent aid dollars:

Good post, Lex. I was moved by the video (although I only caught a fraction of the words), thinking of you, our time there and the quake. So proud of what you do.

Hi,
I came across your site blexi.blogspot.com while searching Google for blogs talking about growing/gardening equipment and related keywords and was wondering if you'd be open to doing a sponsored blog post.
We have a site that growing/gardening equipment and are looking for more exposure online.
Our budget for this is initially $20 for the post and we would give you the blog post (gardening related & already written) as well as a picture to post. All you would have to do is post it.
Here's a sample post we did on another blog: http://homefurniturebiz.com/grow-lights/
We're really just testing out different bloggers, and if you bring some good traffic, we're totally open to doing an annual banner ad!
Also if you have some other blogs, please send them over and I'll take a look and we might be open to doing a post on those as well!
Let me know if you'd be open to this!
Regards,
Vanessa
