As Haiti's cultural capital rebuilds from the quake, we tell the continuing story with a cast of characters and their locales



For weeks, online and in the pages of The Globe, this project has offered a unique window into the lives and challenges facing this historic Haitian city as it struggles to recover from January's devastating earthquake. Reporter Jessica Leeder and photographer Deborah Baic have gotten to know the people and their stories as the efforts there shift from emergency aid to the much bigger challenge of rebuilding.



Starting Tuesday and in the weeks and months ahead, we will tell that continuing story with a cast of characters and their locales, each of whom brings something critical to the rebuilding.



Visitors to the site can expect to find fresh material each day - blog entries, new videos, photographs and stories as the drama of the rebuilding effort plays itself out.
