Pictures

It has been hard at times to take pictures. There are so many things that were just too personal, or too sad, or too ...just plain wrong ... to photograph. But I also know that people care and really want to see. You'll note in these pictures lots of hard working volunteers and staff, lots of smiling children, and lots of broken buildings. It's a little overwhelming to drive around downtown right now, since the buildings are all so close together, and they're in general larger, the destruction is that much more daunting. But every time I go out I see more and more pieces of heavy equipment, and more and more people clearing rubble and rebuilding walls. There's a well loved Kreyol expression that I've been quoting daily around here ... "piti a piti n'a rive." Little by little we'll get there.

Please enjoy the pictures, but please do NOT copy and paste and share them. These are real people's lives and homes, and I would feel terrible to know that their loss was someone else's entertainment.
