(Jacques Boissinot/The Canadian Press) Quebec singer and comedian Luck Mervil is shown Sept. 13, 2009 in Quebec City. Mervil plans to use 900 retrofitted containers to construct a new village fit for 5,000, erected on a parcel of previously uninhabited land near Leogane, a coastal city west of Port-au-Prince. Mr. Mervil, a Haitian-born, Quebec-raised singer, has taken leave from a successful musical career to concentrate efforts on Haiti.
