PIH co-founder Paul Farmer delivers Suffolk University commencement address

Posted on Jun 10, 2010

In his commencement address at Suffolk University in Boston, PIH co-founder Paul Farmer urged the graduating students "to recognize and develop and support the genius of the Haitian people who have led the way."

"When Haiti pulls out of its slump, it's going to be this generation who does it," he added. 

Paul's words were especially meaningful to a trio of the graduating seniors who also happened to be from of Haiti. Watch news coverage of Paul's address and the story of these students on the viewer below.
