The day after the earthquake in Haiti, we spoke on the phone with France Neptune, an aid worker at the Haiti Foundation Against Poverty. He had been trying to reach his girlfriend, Mallery Thurlow, who was in the United States. Neither were able to reach one another, and Mallery was unsure if her boyfriend was alive and well. Live on the air, we were able to connect Neptune and Thurlow for the first time.
Today, we check back in with the couple who have since gotten married and continue their aid work in Haiti.
