Ambassador Lucke went on to say that, “Much remains to be done in Haiti. Probably 80% of the earthquake debris remains in place and as many as 700,000 people are still in tents and under tarps. This is unacceptable. Clearly, two of the biggest challenges facing Haiti are a comprehensive community-based program of debris removal and a focus on permanent, affordable and rapidly built housing. Haiti must also concentrate to create agriculture-based rural enterprise both as an economic engine and to create economic opportunity for rural people who would otherwise crowd into an already densely populated Port au Prince. The key to Haiti's recovery must be in the hand of Haitians themselves. The focus of reconstruction must be on Haitian enterprises, Haitian workers and Haitian leaders leading the charge for Haiti and Haitians. Haitians work hard and are capable people. The role of Haiti's friends in the international community is helping Haiti help itself.”

MC Endeavors CEO Tim Algier emphasized that, “Ambassador Lucke was the former U.S. Response Coordinator for the Haiti earthquake who led the United States’ relief and recovery program. His insights and on-the-ground experience in Haiti will give us the opportunity to really make a difference in both addressing the homeless situation and helping Haitians build a new economy.”
