“The day the earthquake hit, I saw things I didn’t want to remember,” says Wadelet, a U-Report contributor. “There were dead people under the rubble, people running and screaming, it was a real disaster,” he says. Within minutes of the earthquake, he began filming what was happening in his community in Pestel. In the days after the earthquake, he worked with other U-Report reporters to document the aftermath of the earthquake. “Our work helps me feel the benefit and forget the trauma.” Within 48 hours of the disaster, U-Report Haiti launched two national surveys, via Facebook and SMS, to help understand the immediate needs of earthquake-affected youth.
