Introduction
The Haiti Solidarity Committee educates and agitates for justice in Haiti, supports local Haitians, and ships medical supplies and other necessities to Haiti. We aim to create a broader awareness of Haiti and the Haitian people in the Pittsburgh region as well as serve as a channel for people in the area to get involved with supporting Haiti. Haiti Updates: Elections Elections in Haiti have been successfully completed. These were the first elections in Haiti since the exile of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide in 2004. Rene Preval is currently the President-elect. Updates on this and on the
