What Chemistry Careers can address providing the Haitian community with the energy they need?
The travesty in Haiti has caused many important issues never before seen to prop up at a rapid rate. One of these issues is the concern over creating medicinal supplies that are able to survive the wears and tears of everyday life in a 3rd-world country. For example, band-aids in the United States are things that are taken extremely for granted. Everyday band-aids have a life of only a few days. This means that in a place such as Haiti, more band-aids would have to be given out than there actually were, causing a shortage in medicinal supplies. These problems call for the aid of a materials science specialized chemist. Such a chemist could create supplies that are tough and durable, which would allow them to be used in excess in 3rd-world countries such as Haiti.

(R.V.) Agricultural Chemistry

People in Haiti live in the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Even after other countries stop giving aid to them for the earthquake, they will still be in shambles. Their economy is incredibly poor. It is the job of an agricultural chemist to find ways to help the Haitians create farms, giving stimulating their economy and helping them help themselves, not just make them dependent on other nations. They could also harvest their natural resources to make a living. Haiti has some of the best mangoes and coffee, but are unable to obtain them because of bad roads. Read this for more information on how Haiti could help revive it's own economy.
