On the Ground in Haiti with Nicholas Kristof

This week, students in my course on the developing world will begin to assess the problems they've studied in developing countries to come up with a project that they will either carry out or one they could conceivably carry out in the future. In today's New York Times, Nicholas Kristof introduces Sasha Kramer and Sarah Brownell, two young American women running a bare bones non-profit organization in Haiti. Their project addresses both sanitation and agricultural issues. Watch the five-minute short documentary about their work here.
