Haiti Earthquake: Cabaret, Haiti

Eight year-old Jeff Cybaptiste stands in front of his family's Habitat house, which withstood the earthquake of January 12th. It is one of 183 Habitat homes in the area, which were the closest Habitat houses to the epicenter of the earthquake. Initial reports indicate that only eight of these homes sustained damage; by comparison, it is estimated that 8,000 non-Habitat homes were destroyed in the surrounding areas. © Habitat for Humanity International/Ezra Millstein
