#270: How To Build A School In Haiti

Planet Money vor 15 Jahren

0:00

Remember that school we visited in Haiti last year? The one without a schoolhouse?

After we did a story on the school, listeners donated $3,000. The principal thought it was enough to build a schoolhouse. But, as we reported last fall, that money was only enough for a foundation and some concrete blocks.

We thought that would be the end of the story. Then we got an email from a listener named Tim Myers.

On today's show, we talk to Tim about what he learned on a recent trip to Haiti — and we hear how much he thinks it will cost to build the school.

Also on the podcast, a very special Planet Money Indicator: A decade of U.S. home prices, sung as opera. For more on that project, read our post from earlier this afternoon.
