As for getting American Universities involved in promoting Haiti to their students, I will begin trying to do so with Brandeis. I believe the best route would be to get student groups at various universities to take on the project and lead the charge- if the students feel vested in the interests of Haiti through their own efforts, much can be done- T.
and the book students should read to become social policy entrepreneurs & Haiti is "Mountains Beyond Mountains." I saw that the University of Washington (Seattle) has chosen it as its "campus-wide" reading book this Fall - like when towns and cities read a book at the sametime. Maybe I should try this in Liberia - but we would need a bookshop first....Regards from the West Coast of Africa. Patrick _________________ J.P. Slavin Monrovia _________________
