    I left Haiti with no solutions. Many Haitians looked at us (middle class of the developed world) as the cause of their problems - that the stuff we consume and the stuff we waste and the energy we consume results in shortages there. They have no social safety net, bad health care, little food, rampant disease. I don’t know what the answers are, but often when I go to bed without hunger pangs, or enter my huge house (in some places, they took turns sleeping because there wasn’t enough room on the floor for the whole family to lie down), or walk into a doctor’s office, I think of them.
