21025: Leiderman: one good job in Haiti? (fwd)

[Bob Corbett <corbetre@webster.edu>]

From: Stuart M Leiderman <leidermn@cisunix.unh.edu>

dear Readers:

I see that the backwash of Haiti troubles has created one new job --
Chief of Party for an as-yet-to-be-defined contract for work in the
country's economic and governance sectors (see text below).  it is
offered by the Washington, D.C.-area company Development Alternatives,
Inc. <http://www.dai.com> that has a lucrative worldwide relationshp with
the U.S. government, especially through the State Department's Agency for
International Development [USAID].

for extensive details on current US assistance to Haiti and plans for
future development, see the websites http://www.usaid.gov/haiti/  and
http://www.usaid.gov/press/factsheets/2004/fs040227.html

I think you'll be surprised.

thank you,

Stuart Leiderman
