Congratulations on the recent exposure for such good work. Thanks for the time recently spent with me. Last night I saw a TV piece about musician Wyclef Jean's role in Haiti. There ought to be a way that together, someday, Rural System can play a small role in improving the food, fiber, and other conditions in rural areas of Haiti.

I've been on vacation so I haven't received my Valley Business FRONT yet. I can't wait to read it. I hope that the stories in the article inspire others to reach out to our brothers and sisters who experience extremely harsh and impoverished lives.
Thank you for the post, Inside VT Knowledgeworks!
