"The pace of rebuilding from the January 2010 earthquake has slowed....
What rebuilding?

Yeah, that's how I found out about the climbing death toll.
"Foreign charities’ work in Haiti scrutinized; Quake victims give accounts of exploitation" by William Booth, Washington Post / February 6, 2011
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti —The effectiveness of the NGOs is now being questioned, by the groups themselves, and especially by Haitian leaders who complain that NGOs have become a parallel government hobbled by poor coordination, turnover, and lack of transparency.
In the squalid camps where 800,000 still languish, many Haitians say their misery is exploited by NGOs to raise funds rather than raise them up from poverty....
Poor, but very perceptive those Haitians.

I'm sure they are on the edge of their tented seats.
Other buried treasure I found in my printed Boston Globe only:
"GOOD TO GO -- A French rescue worker gave a Haitian girl a final checkup yesterday at the residence of the French ambassador in Port-au-Prince before she left with her adoptive parents for her new home in France. Nearly a year after an earthquake devastated Haiti, France sent an aircraft to fetch a group of Haitian children adopted by French families (Boston Globe December 22 2010)."
I must say she is the cutest little thing.
"GRIM ANNIVERSARY -- A worker carried crosses yesterday to be placed in a memorial honoring tens of thousands of victims of the Jan. 12, 2010, earthquake who are buried in a mass grave at Titanyen, outside Port-au-Prince, Haiti (Boston Globe January 12 2011)."
That is all that sifted through my Boston Globes.
