Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The international community has pledged more than $5 billion to help rebuild earthquake-ravaged Haiti. But there are already major disagreements about how that reconstruction should proceed — and who should be in charge of it. We look at what’s needed to revitalize a nation with virtually no infrastructure, and consider some of the ideas for lifting Haiti out of poverty.
