How Will Donations Be Spent in Haiti?


(01 Apr 10 - RV) At a U.N. meeting yesterday, International donors offered billions of dollars more than expected to help rebuild earthquake-devastated Haiti.
Over a hundred countries participating in a one-day conference in New York have promised to provide the impoverished Caribbean country $5.3 billion for the next
two years, with a total longer term commitment of some $9 billion.
The U.N. had hoped to raise $3.9 billion at the conference. Secretary-General Ban-Ki moon said the pledges were “far beyond expectations”
