Kinam Hotel Port-au-Prince

... Et tel Hitchcock vous me verrez traverser l'écran! C'est en anglais...no French version available so far! A video recently done next to the 1st Better Work Haiti international buyers and major stakeholders' forum on Sept 30th, Oct 1st and 2nd. It will give a glimpse of what the situation is in ...

... this will certainly be of a challenge also in the year to come. One first impression, shared with our "future friend" Bill Clinton, is that local people are not united together for their cause. &#8220;together stronger&#8221;, that we see on their national flag (&#8220;L&#8217;union fait la force&#8221;), only seems to be a wishful thinking&#8230;<br><br>And about security, as I first thought, there are some do&#8217;s and don&#8217;t do&#8217;s, and if you stick to ...

... Il patrouillait, fier de son métal pesant, blindé et noirci des lettres « UN » sur fond uniforme blanc (pour faire pur???).<br><br> La deuxième rencontre se fait sous un gros arbre, à l&#8217;entrée d&#8217;un village, dans le milieu de champs de canne à sucre. La pauvreté en campagne n&#8217;est jamais aussi laide qu&#8217;en ville. On y voit des sourires, des rires, des amis complices, des enfants joueurs. Oui, aussi, un bébé malnutri. Mais mon kodak n&#8217;arrête pas de ...

... some food down before our next flight. This time we say goodbye to Bill, Dave, and Jane as they are flying to Chicago for a wedding. We nominate John to be in charge of our motley crew. He tries to decline but we won't let him, especially because he gets to sit in first class without us!<br><br>Our plane is delayed taking off in Fort Lauderdale, thunderstorms. I'm flashing back to two years prior when we missed our ...

... and then we will fly to Port Au Prince. We are estimating a 6-8 hour drive to the community of Les Anglais. Les Anglais is estimated to have a population of approximately 20,000-30,000 people. As most of you know, Haiti is the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. An initial assessment of Les Anglais's drinking water system was completed last year. The results showed significant amounts of contamination to the water ...

... quelqu'un qui essaye de couper l'avion en deux :) Très tranquille... Nous sommes arrivés en soirée en Floride (encore vivants!). Comme les vrais Américains, on est allés au resto « fast food ». J'ai mangé un sandwich poulet « Southern Style » (ça veut dire il y a trop de gras ??) On s'est couché vers 23h00. J'ai mal dormi. [Suivant]: le 22 décembre - on va en Haïti!

... in the dining room. The rooms at the rectory are large with tall ceilings. The walls are cement and it takes quite a bit of paint to cover them. We are all business, well, once I save Chuck and Loc from the large cicada! (Don't worry we digress as the day goes on!) After lunch, which is plain noodles and small sausages that remind me of pigs toes, we head to the convent up the hill. It is a priority to ...

... basurero, comité, consejo, animación y toda la acción. 2. Oración: invitan al cura, es decir, al párroco, o en su defecto al vicario, pero nuestro vicario no es muy fiestero reveillonero, o en su defecto al diácono... y ahí me tienen, y como alguien dijo alguna vez, "nos echamos" - cual si fuere un palomazo rockanrrolero - una breve oración (con sus veinticinco misterios y sus letanías interminables, mientras la tripa cruje y se nos enfría la comida ...

... le ofreció a otra que cuidara al menor de sus hijos para que pudiera sobrevivir. El dispensario recibe de una organización harina, aceite y algún otro alimento - mismos que son distribuidos una vez a la semana. DE OTRAS COSAS Aún hay calor (mexicanos congelados bienvenidos), pero el calor del invierno de Haití: sopla el viento, y algunas personas comienzan a sacar sus chambritas. Para mí está estupendo, y sobre todo que hemos tenido mucha lluvia. Por otra ...

... of bent men shuffling along the dusty ground. We were here to encounter "Tough Stuff," as our jaunty yellow T-shirts proclaimed, but here in Haiti, our grins and jokes shriveled, withering away like a mango in the dry season. Mary, Julie and I gathered in the dim room where gloves and medicines were kept, listening to the nurse prep us for our afternoon with the sick women. "You must wear gloves," she said briskly, in her French accent, handing us a box of blue latex gloves ...
