More Faces of Haiti




Life in Haiti is hard - to me that is an understatement. Yet the Haitian people are curious, friendly and kind. They value relationships and make sacrifices of the sort most of us will never be faced with. Many Haitians do not want their photographs to be taken. Through Walnes, who served not only as companion/friend on the hike, but also as patient interpreter, we asked permission for photos. We often bartered with chocolate and energy bars as recompense. Here are two women among many we encountered on our hike.
