Andrew Grene

Andrew Grene was a political officer with the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti. He died on January 12th 2010, in the earthquake when the UN headquarters in Port-au-Prince collapsed. Andrew had some influence on the decisions I made to do what it is I try to do. He was a genuinely good person, and I have not yet learned  how to accept that he is gone.

Andrew's twin brother Gregory set up the Andrew Grene Foundation  in his memory, together with their friend Tim Perutz; a secular charity providing educational assistance to the people of Haiti. Andrew loved Haiti and believed in the country.
