The Faces of Haiti

Earthquake Disaster Relief

During Oct. – Nov. 2008, I spent some time in Haiti as a disaster relief volunteer.  I was part of a group called Hands On Disaster Response (www.hodr.org).  We worked in the city of Gonaives helping residents clean massive amounts of mud and other debris from their homes following the four tropical storms and hurricanes that had just devastated that region.  The level of poverty Haitians live in is absolutely unimaginable to many, and it just doesn’t seem fair that a country with so many challenges now has to endure yet another horrific disaster.  Below are some photos taken during my stay in Haiti.
