... et je présenterai une conférence au grand publique, conjointement avec le grand docteur Réjean Thomas, le lundi soir 30 novembre. On parlera de l'historique de Médecins du Monde et de ses actions en vih au Viet Nam et en Haiti, et de la situation actuelle au Canada. Il y aura sûrement place à quelques histoires, aventures et anecdotes!<br><br>Ce sera donc au Centre St-Pierre, au 1212 ...

... flute, a dress, a magnet, a bag, and a wooden mask. That&#8217;s how pushy they are. They were like "Hey! Wanna see sumthing you&#8217;ve never seen before? I&#8217;m not pushy, I know pushy I&#8217;m not pushy" in really heavy French accents. And when they were trying to sell us sumthing and another guy came to try and sell us something, Man they had mouths&#8230; Litterally &#8220;Pardon my French.&#8221; Then when we went to watch ...

... tre bien utile. Quelques défis, c'est certain, je suis doqueteur, pas gestionnaire, mais j'ai encore quelques bons coachs autour de moi!<br><br>Richard est encore très heureux dans son poste. Il travaille fort mais il est bien content. Et moi bien fier de lui...<br><br>On ira une semaine à Miami ce vendredi, question de faire un peu de shopping, cinéma, un resto indien ou deux, voire un italien... Vous avez des références? Des bonnes adresses?<br><br ...

... 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 ...

... Sur Google Earth est pointé l'Hôtel Montana, où Richard a passé 2 mois, et moi 1 mois avant d'avoir la maison.<br> <br> Maintenant, le centre-ville est une zone dévastée et encore dangereuse, où on ne s'y aventure pas le soir. Lorsqu'il y a des manifestations, c'est là où habituellement ça se passe: autour du gouvernement, des facultés, des ministères. Et même le jour, on ne fait qu'y passer au travers, en voiture, pour se rendre ailleurs. J'ai pas de photos de cette "dévastation ...

It&#8217;s dark. The shapes of my apartment are eclipsed by the bright white light of my computer screen as I type this. It&#8217;s 9:30 p.m., and already, they have cut the generator off. For the first couple of weeks, a few lights, the tv, and the fan in my bedroom would still work thanks to a magical &#8220;inverter&#8221; hidden away somewhere. Alas, the battery has run out of juice, or so I assume. So, for ...

Salut groupe!<br><br>Quelques images de promenades en montagne, à 30 minutes de la maison. Avant de venir ici, dans les images que je me projettais de Haiti, non, je ne voyais pas de montagnes. Mais c'est très beau, farci de sentiers, on peut marcher partout, c'est fabuleux! Et en marchant, on traverse champs d'oignons, de mais ...

So, I've been in Haiti for about a week. I definitely parachuted in, in the sense that I didn't quite know what I was getting into, but I'm not sure anyone can until they are actually here. This is my first time in an area with a reputation like Haiti's, and I am not experienced in this kind of venture. Also, I am not an authority on how Haiti has arrived at its current state, or even what that state ...

Down south I spent some time with missionaries down here and we went to Ile a Vache, a beautiful island with crescent sand beaches, for a time of relaxing. The Haitians walked around with us, joked with us, and found coconuts to eat. The wind was strong every day we were there which didn't help the dryness of no rain. There are not many sources of water, and without the rain, the wells were even fewer. Many mosquitoes also makes this island not as ...

Here I am back "home" again. After living in the area for nearly two years, I am coming back to visit for a week. The time is too short and since I have absent from here for about a year, there is much to see and do. Lots of people are awaiting my arrival and that is a nice feeling. I found a "woulib" or free ride down from Port au Prince to Les Cayes. It is only a 5 hour drive down then, if we stop for food. A couple from Texas arrived in Port au Prince ...
