Nice to see SIPs being used down in Haiti.
Sadly it also pointed out why Haiti is such a failure, slab being out of square and level. What will it take for the Haitians and others in the third world to learn to do thing according to requirements and plans?

Fergie,
In all fairness those things happen in the US as well, it is a cultural thing and not the reason why Haiti is a failure, the problem in Haiti is mass corruption. Places like Cite' Soleil, where gang crime is so bad , even the UN troops don't go in.
It is hell on earth!

This interesting study done by Santa Clara University ...........,,,,,. a lot to read , but go to part 3 paragraph 6 ........SIPs in Haiti

my buddy puts on a big conference in Miami Beach in April, focusing a lot on countries such as Haiti, most of the movers/shakers NGO's are there. Would be a great way for interested suppliers/builders to make connections.
