On January 12, 2010, a major earthquake struck near Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Hundreds of thousands of people died, and the greater part of the capital was demolished. Dr. Paul Farmer, U.N. deputy special envoy to Haiti, who got worked in the united states for practically thirty years dealing with infectious diseases like tuberculosis and Products, and former Chief executive Charge Clinton, the U.N. special envoy to Haiti, got just begun to work on an considerable development plan to improve living conditions in Haiti. Now their task was transformed into an enormous international save and relief effort. In his own words, Farmer documents this effort, like the harrowing obstacles and the tiny triumphs. Despite an outpouring of aid, the problems were astronomical. U.N. plans were crippled by Haiti's delicate infrastructure and the death of U.N. workers who had been based in Port-au-Prince. In chronicling the relief effort, Farmer attracts focus on the social issues that made Haiti so susceptible to this natural catastrophe. Yet Farmer's bill is not a gloomy catalog of impenetrable problems. As damaging as Haiti's circumstances are, its populace manages to continue. Farmer shows how, even in the barest camps, Haitians plan themselves, creating smaller businesses such as beauty parlors. His narrative is interwoven with reports from Haitians themselves and from doctors among others working on the ground. In the end this is a tale of human endurance and humility in difficult circumstances and seemingly overwhelming odds.
