Education in Haiti remains elusive to all those who can’t pay for it; 80% of the schools here are privately run.

This week's devastating earthquake in Haiti draws international attention to a nation continuously plagued by social and economic woes, covered thoroughly in a piece by The Guardian's Caroline Saunders. Pulitzer grantees Dane Liu and Carmen Russell produced a short documentary, "Restaveks: Child Slaves of Haiti," featured on Foreign Exchange. View their work below and hear Russell's take on the current state of the country.



Russell discusses the earthquake's impact and its ramifications for Haiti's future.
