Recently, Washington D.C. has seen a
breakthrough for the field of international peacebuilding. As part
of
the Foreign Assistance Act Reform (the legislation that put USAID
into

hearts go out to everyone in Haiti and all their loved ones around the world. There is so much suffering on our planet
and people who are in need of help, yet the devastation in Haiti right now is particularly
heartbreaking.
