Photo from one-day delegation to Haiti

Posted by: Office Staff (June 02, 2008, 11:42 AM)

Hank visited Haiti on Friday, May 16, for a single-day Congressional delegation to examine that country's dire poverty crisis and ensure that U.S. aid is effectively assisting the many destitute Haitians who are struggling to survive every day.

Haiti is one of the world's poorest countries. An estimated 80% of the population lives below the poverty line amid widespread unemployment; more than two-thirds of the workforce are jobless. As global food prices have risen dramatically over the past year, many Haitians' struggles to survive have become more dire.

The U.S. Government is Haiti's largest donor and has provided over a billion dollars over the last 15 years to reduce poverty, illiteracy, malnutrition, and crime. Hank and his colleagues flew to Haiti to ensure that American aid was reaching its targets and effectively easing the lives of the poorest Haitians. (Click here for more information regarding U.S. assistance to Haiti.)

Below is a photo of Hank (far left) and his Congressional colleagues with Haiti's President, René Preval (center, with white beard).



Accompanying Hank on the delegation were Congressman André Carson, Congresswoman Yvette Clarke, Congressman Keith Ellison, Congressman Al Green, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson-Lee, Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson, Congresswoman Barbara Lee, Congressman Gregory Meeks, Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton, Congresswoman Diane Watson, and Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard.
