Le Xaragua Port-au-Prince

... marchés en plein air, les bâtiments du gouvernement. Depuis les 20 dernières années, après la chute du fils Duvalier, la face du pays et de PAP a changé. Le pays s'est appauvri, les gens ont quitté les campagnes pour essayer de trouver emploi-fortune-chance en ville. Le surpeuplement de la ville a fait que les gens ont grimpé sur les collines et, avec l'aide du gouvernement, qui pendant un temps, a permis à n'importe qui de s'établir n’ importe où, de larges étendues de ...

... this is Spanish, right??? Damn!)<br><br>Well, you know me; I could talk for hours&#8230; Let&#8217;s just say, for a final note, that I will greatly appreciate the lower pace of the place here. It moves slower, you often have (live and smooth) Caribbean music in restaurants and bars, people dance the salsa ha!!! beautifully, you just sit there and enjoy the show!<br><br>Nice to talk to you! Hoping to hear from you too!<br><br>Hugs and kisses<br><br>Marc

... l&#8217;air très brillant une fois l&#8217;âge du consentement passé. Irrécupérable dégât. Et on ne parle pas des montagnes de déchets, des canaux d'encre noire, du manque d'eau potable...<br><br> No money, no glory here. Le hardcore de Port-au-Prince.<br><br>Mille bravos à Médecins du Monde, et aux autres ONG présentes, qui dispensent soins, éduquent les familles, et accordent espoir d&#8217;une vie meilleure.<br><br>Marc<br><br>ps: cliquez sur les photos pour les voirr en plus grand<br>

"Wherever a man turns he can find someone who needs him." ~Albert Schweitzer<br><br>Rise and Shine! Compared to the past two days this is sleeping in, up at 6:00 AM! Just like at home, I head straight for the coffee. We bask in the warm sun on the porch till breakfast at 8:00. Typical rectory breakfast-bananas, corn flakes, boxed milk, and Laughing Cow cheese. I spread my cheese on a roll that is similar to a ...

... be used to inform future volunteer efforts. For additional information, I would encourage you to go to our chapter/project web site at http://www.ewbportland.org/haiti I will be leaving January 29th and returning February 8th. The community doesn't have electricity or internet access so I plan to document my trip with pictures when I return to the US. I can't wait to share my experiences and photos with you all. See you later, Heidi

... students are reclaiming their buildings. Generosity and good will do dry up at some point. But not the homes, they were inundated with water as recently as Tuesday. Public schools? There are almost none. The regular economy is essentially defunct. How can a 1.5 liter bottle of water in the poorest country in the western hemisphere be 4 dollars? Or how can a simple plate of rice and beans on the street be 2 dollars? Haiti's inequality index ranks in ...

... On the porch that night we have reflection. I'm in charge! I read from the book of Mark, then read a prayer entitled "Thank You Lord". It seems to reflect how lucky I am feeling for my life, home, family, gifts. Our group of eleven are all completely different yet we all blend into one. This is one thing in particular I am grateful for. Going on a trip, in general, is always a risk. Here we are on a trip ...

... caminó, no avanzó, entre problemas de energía eléctrica (nuestro pan de cada día), y luego con el equipo de sonido... y dicen que los del mal agüero éramos nosotros, porque nos juimos y, como dice Timbiriche "y la fiesta comenzó." Me ejecuté la tercera fecha de reveillon en la modalidad "posada" o bien, "la visita de las siete casas." Fue un triplete. PRIMERO tuvimos la fiesta del COMITE LITURGIE en nuestra casa - sinceramente me daba "flojerita", pero ...

... con ayuda de una Lentium Dos con Güindous Equispé, con un diccionario inglés-francés de bolsillo, un "501 FRENCH VERBS" y un "Bescherelle Grammaire Française" (gracias a la hermandad de mi hermana). Así es como mi bosquejo de homilía tuvo que ser traducido de manera carnicera a la lengua de Victor Hugo... y posteriormente esperó hasta que Gimlsy Valbrun (mi hermano y amigo oblato - que está sin querer queriendo pasando también a ser mi mano ...
