"The floods that blight the seaside Haiti slum known as God's Village arrive with a vengeance, even on days when the rains are light. Waves of coffee-colored mud slide off the mountains into canals heaping with garbage. Sewers overflow and stone walls topple. The waters rise above sandbags and drowned pigs, dogs and rats float in the fetid mix--a reddish-brown swirl seeping into the sea as though the very land is hemorrhaging." (SUN-SENTINEL) This article provides an overview of Haiti, "an eroding nation whose soil is vanishing beneath its peoples' feet."
