One of the organizations that is coordinating those relief services in Haiti on the community level is MADRE, an international women’s human rights organization, with offices in New York. We're joined by Marie Saint Cyr, a board member at MADRE. She was the first Haitian Deputy Commissioner in New York City under the Dinkins Administration.
