Back in Haiti to document the visit of former President George W. Bush to projects being funded by the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund. A quick trip but a good chance to highlight the long-term agenda of the fund to develop projects that will generate on-going jobs and services for the Haitian people. One project was focused on improving the production of mangoes, not only a staple of the diet, but an important export item.

Another project was helping build a factory where garment workers who lost their shops and equipment can come and work on domestic and export projects generated with the help of the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund.

We always say that “if the camera wasn’t rolling when it happened, it didn’t happen.”  I have the video to prove that the one-man band can have drawbacks. Having a soundperson leading you over rough ground is more than a luxury. This happened while documenting President Bush’s visit to Haiti for the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, this week. No damage, just bruised pride.
