January 12th marks the one-year anniversary of the earthquake that devastated the Caribbean nation of Haiti. One-year later, reconstruction is moving at a snail's pace, millions of people are still without a permanent home, a cholera epidemic has killed thousands of people and the recent first-round of the presidential election is under investigation for fraud.
