Understanding Haiti through comics: Pharés Jerome, a reporter for Le Nouvelliste, and comic artist named Chevelin Pierre, have just completed the first chapter of a comic series called “Tents Beyond Tents,” about how so many Haitians affected by the hurricane are still living in tent camps.
The duo was enlisted by American cartoonist Matt Bors, who’s editing a comics journalism project about life in Haiti since the earthquake. Bors spoke to The World’s Marco Werman yesterday.
“Tents Beyond Tents” was published online Thursday by Cartoon Movement.

a great, innovative way to get the word out.  I’m a big believer that we take more meaningful action when we internalize the story of the problem, and this seems like a fabulous way to do just that!
