Chapters 9-11

Chapter 9
Appropriate technology means that "one should use only the simplest technologies required to do a job." In regards to Haiti, that meant that the poor had to use bad and often times inefficient technology in comparison to the rich using technology of excellent quality.

Quadri thinks guilt is a useful emotion because it makes you go back and look at the evil things you've done, and it makes you feel remorse. Angie thinks that it can be useful and it can not be useful depending on the situation you're looking at it.

Chapter 10
Ophelia longed to have some time with Paul alone, and to get away from things in Cange every once in a while. That often caused some arguments between the two. Ophelia felt like they didn't have time for anything for themselves, it always had to be about the poor and that sometimes put a strain on their relationship. They sometimes had a struggle for power too. Ophelia usually lost, but in the rare occasion that she won, she felt happy about it, and annoyed at the same time.
Tom White donated a lot of money, and therefore helped fund a lot of the project in Cange. Todd McCormack helped be on the board of advisors of Partners in Health. Jim Yong Kim became almost Paul's "partner" and did a lot of the dirty work that had to get done, but Paul didn't want to concern himself with (raising money, talking to politicians, some financial things/problems, etc.) Ophelia ran the Partner's in Health office at Harvard.

Chapter 11
The most disturbing part of this chapter was how after the people of Haiti finally elected someone as President that THEY wanted, someone who would help the poor, and make the country as a whole better, the army came in and took away that hope. They hurt people, took over the presidency, and once again, made things a living hell for the Haitian poor. Their hope was smashed once again.
