Making "Goud" in Haitian Aftermath


Years of underdevelopment have required Haitians to find creative ways to get by. A great example is that of Pierre Benoit, whose cell-phone charging service is highlighted in today's Miami Herald.

Pierre charges the equivalent of $0.37 USD (4 Haitian Gouds) to charge people's cell phones from a generator in front of the crumbled Haitian National Palace.

If you come across interesting examples of resourceful entrepreneurs that emerge from the Haitian tragedy please send them along.
