jp,

I had a very different journey this time. but very meaningful. I stayed with some families in tent cities and went up the mountains to the villages.  in Léogâne it is a lot of relief in the centre. but the further away you come from the big road the worse it gets. in the mountains where I went people did not receive any aid,  neither medical or shelter or food. the devastation up there is terrible. all buildings just are left by gravel. these people need counseling. they are hurting inside their hearts and heads. and they need shelter. that’s the worst I have seen. if you can, take your buses off the main road and go to these villages. just basically turn of the highway to the left in between Gressier and Léogâne and drive upwards and you will see what I mean.

wish I could have come with you. you are a very inspiring man.

be safe/j
