100 days after the devastating January 12 Earthquake in Haiti, the immediate suffering of crushed lives and limbs has subsided, giving way to a wider tide of calamities as the heavy rain season begins. Well over one million Haitian have lost their homes and many are living unprotected from the elements, on open fields, in public parks, and in spontaneously built refugee camps where men with guns rule. While Haiti may have slipped from the news, there remains an incredible amount of work to be done and a myriad number of organizations on the ground in Haiti helping the recovery efforts.
