kenny center's involvement in haiti, we have been working in haiti since 2002.d who have met with the human rits struggle and in 2002 that went to our partners in health which i believe most people are now familiar with. she was a voice for her work on the right to health. not only was she doing grndbreaking hiv/aids treatment at a time when it was considered difficult to do so in resource poor settings but she was doing so from a human rights perspective and really over the years what that has meant is working in partnership with the ministry of health to build its capacity to do a job. haiti has a constitutionally recognized right to health. the rfk award begins a partnership, a long-term partnership and the take on the social change goals of our partners and engage from washington. over the years we have looked at the international community, the u.s. government, the international financial institutions role in haiti at times when there was no money going to the government and really looking at what the impact of the international community interventions were

ng partners an haiti, i asked them t look and see how we can build capacity in the government of haiti in terms of ability is w do you build capacity in th institutions in the local mmunity as well as the naonal goverent. it has been severely affected by the earthquake itself but even before the rthquake it was very minimum to say the least. it doesn't exi adequately today. we building a sum these programs as i mentioned with u. southern command engagents emergency operation centers for example wth local mayors so that they can have some cacy to react to local emergencies as best as possible but they have no national syem in place that is needed to do this, so they will be subject to the ability of the international community to provide thethe critical ssistance. as you know, it is unfortunate that it is very susceptible to flooding and it is a disaster waiting to happen subject to nature, quie frankly cause just the geography. itas an area where they are going to need tremendous internatiol response if they have a hurricane comes through that region. again this year as they did n 2008

organization in haiti, and they're managing a camp of 60,000 people in haiti. so he volunteered for his organization to support us, to train in their camp first. so we just completed the training and the certificate ceremony for 415 haitian women, train the trainer in haiti, and that one camp, and it was so well received that they had literally -- literally had to turn people away. they wanted to help so bad. and our hope is now that some n.g.o. and organization will pick this up and help us. our goal was to train 20,000 people in haiti in one year. but, of course, now it's more difficult, but we can still do it, but we're going to have some help to do it. i'm going to close with this, and i know you're very glad. each of us, no matter who you are, you can make a difference in someone's life. you can help a neighbor. you can help yourself and your family, or you can help the business you're working in, just develop a family plan for your family. if you got kids or grand kids at school, if you got most families now, mother and fathers work, and if you're at work

coca-cola launched a program in haiti for fruit juices. the field of development is certainly much broader today i believe then it was a wild back. in terms of private foundations, i think they play a very unique and incredibly important role. they can often take tremendous risks. they can work very very long time in a very focused area like getting a big breakthrough like an aids vaccine. if you look at 38 million people around the world with hiv-aids the way we are going to solve that problem over time is prevention and treatment and hopefully a breakthrough in technology like a vaccine that can be used more cheaply and more effectively. they play a very unique role but that actually highlights that the public sector should be doing more and should be doing more effectively. we can also invest in science and technology. we can also take risks and stay focused. we should also be incredibly oriented around using our resources in a results-oriented way and trying to get as much leverage as we can into every investment we make so we are not

we started to utilize this in haiti. we started to get the telecommunications up and running because eight organizations were pulling bodies out of the rubble and doing the immediate work needed to coordinate with each other. does not that telecommunications was taking away from the immediate task, telecommunications and technology empowered them to do it more effectively. we know that the text campaign raised $35 million entirely by text donations to the red cross. that was the first week. afghanistan is one of my favorite case studies. i will end with this one even though there are more examples. afghanistan is the only country in the world where police officers are receiving their salaries over cell phones. that is remarkable to me. i am a believer in looking into places that face the greatest challenges. how is it that in a country where 97% of the population does not have access to a bank account and 1% of the population as the internet and roughly 30% as access to cell phones, it is the only country in the world th

japan sent rapid humanitarian aid to haiti and the japanese self-defense force provided medical relief following the earthquake there this past january. japan, to this day, remains a steadfast ally with the united states in combating the nuclear threat from north korea and responding to the north provocative behavior. the success of our alliance with japan would not have been possible without japan's broad support and understanding, and i would like to thank the government of japan and the japanese people and especially the people of okinawa, where i taught for two years, for their continued hosting of american armed forces in japan. i taught the children of these armed forces. while japan is an important partner and friend and we ea aee gree on many issues there is one important matter on which we disagree, the issue of american children take ton japan by one parent against the wishes of the other parent. this issue is a very real and serious concern for those left behind parents and for those of us representing them here in congress. it is imperative that our two governments create t
