IN OUR FINAL REPORT ON HAITI’S RECONSTRUCTION, FOUR YEARS AFTER THE QUAKE, A SUCCESS STORE FRY THE CATASTROPHE. A HAITIAN-BASED COMPANY THAT MAKES THESE TABLETS RIGHT HERE THAT RIVAL THE IPAD MINI. THE THREE WORDS ON THE BACK OF THEM “MADE IN HAITI” THAT’S SENDING A MESSAGE TO THE REST OF THE WORLD. MADE IN HAITI. ROBERT IS PICKING UP HIS NEW TABLET TO SEND TO HIS FRIENDS IN THE U.S. I WOULD GIVE THEM AWAY BECAUSE I’M SO PROUD TO HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT MADE IN HAITI. REPORTER: WHAT THESE HAITIAN WORKERS ARE DOING AT THIS COMPANY IS SOMETHING WE ARE USED TO SEEING IN OTHER PLACES. BUT THE METICULOUS WORK OF MAKING TABLETS IS HAPPENING IN PORT-AU-PRINCE FOR A COMPANY CALLED SERTAN. WE DISCUSSED THIS WITH PEOPLE. THE FIRST REACTION IS ALWAYS FOR PEOPLE TO LAUGH AT THE IDEA. IT IS BECAUSE PEOPLE DON’T THINK IT’S POSSIBLE. THIS IS THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE OF THE NEW HAITI THAT WE ALL WANT TO LIVE IN. REPORTER: NEARLY DIED IN THE QUAKE FOUR YEARS AGO SAYS THIS ALL SEEMS LIKE ONE BIG DREAM. IS IT REALLY ME? IT’S LIKE, WOW. WHY ME? BUT, YOU KNOW, THINGS HAPPEN. I AM LUCKY, VERY, VERY LUCKY. SERTAB HIRED 20 HAITIAN WORKERS LAST YEAR, TRAINED THEM AND OPENED FOR BUSINESS IN OCTOBER. CRITICAL STEPS ARE TAKEN TO AVOID CONTAMINATING TABLET PARTS. SO EVERY WORKER HAS TO PUT THIS ON? AND THEN WORKERS TAKE A 10-SECOND AIR SHOWER BEFORE GOING INTO THE PRODUCTION ROOM. EVERY TABLET IS CAREFULLY INSPECTED. EVERY FEATURE ON THESE TABLETS IS PUT THROUGH A STRESS TEST. EACH WORKER IS VERY AWARE OF THE PERCEPTION, PRESSURE AND PRIDE OF THESE THREE WORDS ON THE BACK OF THE TABLET. “MADE IN HAITI.” MADE IN HAITI IS A RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE WE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS JUST A NEW PAGE THAT’S OPENING IN THE ECONOMIC FUTURE OF THIS COUNTRY. AND WE’RE PROUD OF OURSELVES. YEAH. WE ARE VERY PROUD. THIS IS THE BEGINNING, JUST THE BEGINNING. HAITI’S GOING TO GET OUT OF IT. HAITI’S GOING TO BE BIG. HAITI IS GOING TO BE BIG, HE SAYS. WELL SERTAB PLANS TO DOUBLE ITS WORKFORCE BY THE END OF THE YEAR AND ALREADY THE TABLET IS CHANGING HOW MINISTRIES OF GOVERNMENT COMMUNICATE IN HAITI. THEIR NEXT GOAL, PUTTING TABLETS IN THE HANDS OF STUDENTS, TRANSFORMING HAITI’S EDUCATION SYSTEM. THAT WOMAN WAS MAGICAL. I MEAN SHE’S SO, SO HAPPY TO HAVE A JOB. SO HAPPY TO HAVE A JOB AND SO HAPPY ABOUT THE FACT THAT THOSE THREE WORDS “MADE IN HAITI” MEANS SO MUCH TO EVERYBODY ON THAT PRODUCTION LINE. THEY WERE TRULY HAPPY TO DO WHAT THEY WERE DOING. THIS IS HIGH TECH? EVEN A PHONE, AS WELL? SERVES AS A PHONE IF YOU PUT YOUR SIM CARD IN IT. IT HOOKS UP WITH WHATEVER NETWORK YOU ARE WITH. THIS PHONE REALLY WILL TRANSFORM THE EDUCATION SYSTEM IN HAITI BECAUSE THEY WILL TRY TO SELL
