From Rubble to Cathedral – Haitian National Memorial One Step Closer to Reality

On September 26th, I met with the owner of the property containing Haiti’s largest mass grave. Since then, I have received numerous calls and/or emails asking for details regarding this meeting. Unfortunately, due to the sensitivity surrounding this site and the complexity involved in transitioning the mass grave into a memorial, I cannot provide as many details as I would like. With that being said, here is my post: As I reflect upon of my 10 hour meeting yesterday, and the commitments made to me by meeting’s-end, I am reminded of a quote from Antoine De Saint Exupery:

“A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral.”

I find comfort in this quote, and believe, with every fiber of my being, that in a desolate field on the outskirts of Titanyen, a cathedral, of sorts, is slowly beginning to emerge. It will not happen overnight, but the progress made to this point in time is certainly encouraging. That’s it for now. Thank you to all of you who continue to support my efforts in Haiti and I look forward to sharing more details with you as the situation allows.
