Administrator Rajiv Shah announced Feb. 5
that USAID’s director in Peru, Paul Weisenfeld,
will direct U.S. reconstruction efforts for Haiti
from Washington. He will coordinate with Lewis
Lucke, who was earlier named to direct U.S.
government aid activities on the ground in Portau-
Prince, the capital city shattered by the Jan.
12 earthquake. Reconstruction funds pledged by
donors, including the United States, have passed
$3 billion.

Letter to the Editor
I have read your article
on Sierra Leone [FrontLines,
August 2009, page 6] with
great interest. I am a cassava
processing expert and
food scientist, with over 30
years of experience in technical
assistance to developing
tropical countries. Cassava is
very poor in protein, unlike
what is stated in the article.
In fact, this is one of the big
drawbacks, nutritionally. I
have been working to find a
solution.
Best regards,
Ramana R. “Ralph” Govin,
PhD
