Mark begins with a simple explanation of a key innovation -- handicap accessible latrines. The specially constructed bathrooms are an important addition in Haiti, where so many have lost limbs from earthquake-related injuries.

Mark also talks about the threat rain poses. Rain could quickly turn the many makeshift camps in Haiti into breeding grounds for disease like malaria and cholera.
