Panos London newsletter: Panos in Haiti

29 January 2010

Panos and the earthquake in Haiti

Panos London was shocked, along with the rest of the world, to learn of the appalling earthquake that hit Port-au-Prince, Haiti, on January 12th. The Panos Caribbean office was badly damaged, but thankfully all the Panos Caribbean staff are safe. Panos Caribbean is now working on how it can contribute to the ongoing relief and recovery process. The current proposal is to work with Haitian journalists and local communities to support the process of Haitians speaking out on their priorities for recovery and rehabilitation. More details about the situation can be read at: www.panos.org.uk/haiti_earthquake

Back in London we have had a busy start to the new year, releasing a new video and continuing our reporting research features. The highlights can be read below.
