Brazil makes first contribution

World Bank President, Robert Zoellick, is urging donor nations to honour their aid pledges to help Haiti rebuild from January\'s devastating earthquake.



The call comes after Brazil yesterday became the first contributor to the reconstruction fund for Haiti.



Brazil says it has paid $55 million into the World Bank-supervised fund.



In March, international donors pledged 10 billion over a decade to assist in the rebuilding of Haiti.
