After the untimely death of her husband, Margaret Trost was left with her five-year-old child and much uncertainty about the future. But after a fortuitous trip to Haiti where she encountered unimagined poverty, Trost ended up founding an organization to help feed those in need on the island — and in the process worked through some of her own grief and shock. Margaret Trost is the author of “On That Day, Everybody Ate: One Woman’s Story of Hope and Possibility in Haiti.”

Guests:

Margaret Trost, author, founder and director of The What If? Foundation, which partners with the St. Clare's community of Port-au-Prince to provide food, enroll students in school and run a summer camp

Brian Concannon Jr., director of the Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti
