I don’t have any profound thoughts for the daily Haiti blog today. Or at least they aren’t organized enough to post. So I wanted to show you my favorite photo of the day.
We traveled to the region around the city of Kenscoff, to a village called Guibert. FH is running a program there called Child Protection, designed to protect children in the aftermath of the quake. Children in all of Haiti are vulnerable right now because they’re the ones who bear the brunt of the economic collapse, family problems, etc. resulting from the quake. Among other things, the program runs a children’s activity program called “Child Friendly Spaces” that gives kids a safe place to play and socialize.
Before we went to Kenscoff, my colleague Charith and I did a basic presentation on taking good photos. Then we loaded up the staff with the aim of putting the lessons into immediate practice. I’m waiting to hear more feedback tomorrow but from my end, it went well.
The staff and kids alike had a good time honing their skills (which were pretty good to begin with). But what caught my attention was how the staff were coaching each other. It was a sweet thing to see. This photo shows Mario taking a photo while his colleagues (from left) Leila, Jude, Miriam and Nixon give him advice.
