DESCRIPTION:Our first meeting of 2011 will focus on what the impoverished island nation 
 of Haiti is going through, with the very knowledgeable and experienced Seth 
 Donnelly of the Haiti Action Committee providing details.\n\nDonnelly has 
 titled his talk, which will include a short video presentation, "One Year 
 after the Earthquake: the Ongoing Struggle in Haiti for Recovery, Human 
 Rights, and Real Democracy". We can most likely expect tales of the 
 population there dealing with not just the devastation of the earthquake, 
 but also poorly-executed relief attempts, a ragged election and a cholera 
 epidemic. Donnelly's many trips to Haiti will surely also afford us human 
 stories of determination and survival through the everyday chaos there. And 
 of course he will have suggestions for how we can take action toward 
 alleviating the suffering in Haiti.\n\nSeth Donnelly is based on the 
 Peninsula, and has been a social studies high school teacher in the 
 Mountain View/Los Altos District for the past ten years. He has been a 
 member of the Haiti Action Committee for the past six years, and has 
 traveled regularly to Haiti on human rights and solidarity delegations - 
 organized through HAC - since 2004. During his last trip, he took a group 
 of local high school students to deliver medical supplies and aid as part 
 of an effort to expand and deepen ties of solidarity with Haitian 
 grassroots activists. His next trip is scheduled for February.\n\nThe UU is 
 wheelchair accessible. Coffee, tea and dessert will be on hand. We hope to 
 see you for another informative Peace Action evening.\n
