Haiti President Rene Preval met with President Barack Obama and Congress this week to discuss Haiti’s most-pressing needs. Relief workers and U.S. government officials say that Haiti is far from recovered after an earthquake January 12 crumbled the country’s infrastructure. The Haitian government estimates that 230,000 died because of the disaster.
A team of Clemson University civil engineering students are working in that troubled island over the next week. They will be working in Cange, a remote village two hours from Port-au-Prince.They are prepared for that they might face because they were helping Haiti before the quake hit.
