Topic: Mental health issues among Haitians following the Jan. 12, 2010, earthquake.

Love For Haiti
For some Americans, the call to go help in Haiti was deeply personal. Four years ago, Muni Tahzib, a pediatrician in Hoboken, N.J., watched as her 3-year-old son, Max, nearly died from an allergic reaction to penicillin. During the six weeks he spent in intensive care, she recalled, "We received an incredible amount of love from absolute strangers."

A Tragic Baby Boom
On the heels of the devastating quake that claimed more than 200,000 lives in January 2010, Haiti experienced a population spike, with the birth rate tripling in urban areas within months. But it's been hard to find many ecstatic dads pacing delivery rooms. A shocking number of these newborns have been the products of rape.

The Light of Morning: The Cuisine of Haiti
In a town in northwest Haiti, putting good food on the table is both a serious business and a reassuring ritual.

The Virtues of Human Waste
Sasha Kramer got a Ph.D. from Stanford University and went on to install toilets. Now her work may help Haiti deal with its food, health, and environmental woes.

International Medical Corps Helps Haiti In Its Long Haul
International Medical Corps is a model for global not-for-profits, with a plan that goes way beyond drop-in disaster relief. In Haiti, IMC is training locals, building communities, and doing everything it can to put itself to pasture.
