Laurent believes that "given the circumstances, Aristide has done a good job in office. In the
entire history of Haiti, President Aristide and the Lavalas party has built more schools in the 10 years that
he has been President than ever in the 200 years of our existence. When President Aristide came in there
were about 30 schools, today there are 120 schools.

Laurent said she would be presenting a formal position paper to CARICOM leaders who have been
meeting in caucus most of Thursday night and Friday discussing the political crisis in Haiti.
