D Friday, January 29, 2010 News 11 Clinton plea to rebuild nation Former US president Bill Clinton yesterday urged 2,500 business and political leaders to invest in Haiti. He made the plea at the World Economic Forum in Davos as the quake- hit country became the focus of attention. Robert Greenhill, managing director of the gathering in Switzerland, said a long-term engagement was required there. Haiti had tremendous potential for tourism as long as there was sustained investment, he added. Businesses are realising that, in addition to their charity role, they have a role in helping build economies, added Mr Greenhill. Bathwater saves Haiti survivor, 17 A TEENAGE girl pulled alive from a collapsed house 15 days after the Hai- tian earthquake survived by drinking water from a bath. Darlene Etienne, 17, cried with joy as she was dragged from rubble in a severely dehydrated state. She could only say thank you to rescuers as crowds cheered and clapped her on her way to a waiting ambulance. Darlene was trapped between a collapsed wall and a door in the remains of her home in the quake- flattened capital of Port-au-Prince. She owes her life to a passer-by who heard her voice and urged Red Cross and civil protection workers to send rescuers to the site. I dont know how she happened to resist that long. Its a miracle, said rescue worker JP Malaganne. She will live, she has her whole life ahead of her, said Col Michel Orcel, a French doctor. We are providing the care she needs and she will be OK. Her French res- cue crew shouted: We are the best team in the world after she was taken to a field hospital. Its not at all usual. Its exceptional, added crew member Stephan Sadak. More than 130 people have been rescued from the rubble since the quake hit on January 12. The number has surprised experts who were more pessimistic about survival rates. Haitians are still appealing to search teams to go to new sites. Meanwhile, the countrys govern- ment appealed to foreign leaders and charities to do more to help the earth- quake victims. I am not in a position to criticise anybody, not in the least people who have come here to help me, said president Rene Preval. What I am saying is, what every- body is saying is, that we need a bet- ter coordination.
