The only time i have been was in 1993, and went with my family as my dad was working for the UN there at the time!

were in a small town on the tip of the island called Jeremy… was quite young (only 12) and my parents sheltered me from a lot, but I could still see the devestation, poverty and violence – especially in port au prince – but in Jeremy, Haitians were kind, generous and friendly.

the empty beaches were amazing!

and the funniest thing was everytime my mom walked down the street – haitians would say ‘bomjour ma soeur’ thinking she was a nun cause the only white women they knew were nuns! A nun with 3 kids in tow! now there is a contradiction!

I hope the country stabalises soon!
