As Haiti rebuilds after last January\'s massive earthquake, the need for access to its statutes and other law-related materials has become paramount to the nation...
When catastrophic events happen, like the earthquake in Haiti last year, we tend to talk a lot about how many people were injured or killed. Sometimes the stories about what it really takes to get a country back on its feet get lost in the shuffle.

They join us to talk about the effort and why they got involved.
