As Haiti begins to fade out of the so-called "mainstream" media's spotlight, it is clear that the rebuilding is just beginning. After the earthquake, many Haitians fled the capital of Port-au-Prince to migrate back to the rural areas of the country.

In this in-depth piece that was put together by Avi Lewis for the Al Jazeera program "Fault Lines", you will see a country that is struggling clean-up and groups of Haitians that have a lot of ideas for solutions to help their country deal with a new reality.
