ABC News, TIME document E. Benjamin Skinner's Haiti rescue mission

The Schuster Institute senior fellow saves the man who saved his life

Skinner talks to ABC News anchor Dan Harris

E. Benjamin Skinner, senior fellow at the Schuster Institute for Investigative Journalism, recently traveled to Haiti to help a man who nursed him back to health when he contracted a severe case of malaria.

Bill Nathan, a former child slave who Skinner met when he was researching modern-day slavery, was gravely injured in the recent earthquake. Skinner says his mission to help his friend is "pay back" for the help he gave him when he was sick, but more importantly, for what Nathan has done to help today's child slaves.
