A Week and a Half as a Volunteer

I have been an official Peace Corps volunteer for 13 days now. I have to say, it feels good so far! Since swearing in on November 6th, time has flown by. After the swearing in, we returned to the Hotel Olffeson to see the vodoo band, RAM perform. The lead singer is also the owner of the Hotel. There is a book written about this hotel called The Comedians by Graham Greene. I highly recommend this book becuase as far as the decour goes, not much has changed in the last forty years since the boo...

A Haitian woman, her head laden with seven crates of eggs, was in front of my colleague, who tried unsuccessfully to get the woman to run for cover. The woman did not want to drop her eggs. Both my colleague and the woman survived the &#8220;run-by shooting ...

Amazing!!!

... in general after spending some intimate time with them. I have traveled a lot but this was a whole different experience for me. We were so embedded in the community and we went to people's houses to interview them which provided an opportunity to really get to know them and their daily struggles. It was amazing to learn more about the Haitian culture. Haiti is a beautiful country and the people were amazing. I was touched by ...

The outside of Ma ...

YO ERA de los que pensaba que las fiestas de quince años y las bodas de pueblo donde la gente tira la casa por la ventana (y luego nomás se quedan sin casa y con la pura ventana...) yo pensaba que eso era una tontería, una falta de juicio y previsión.
