First impressions

The following are images from the back of a pickup truck on our drive from Port-au-Prince to the All Hands base in Léogâne. What do you think?




The images below were taken today as we walked around our base and then around Léogâne to get a feel for our surroundings.


yummy clean water!
tents and drying clothes
razor wire to protect our base

i think they meant love...
clothespins on the roof of our base
a book left on the roof

view inside our base from the roof. it is an incomplete nightclub that survived the earthquake and is now leased to us by Joe, a local entrepreneur who made his money driving cabs in NYC and also operates the bar on the property
more of the roof
collapsed house in Leogane, the concrete base crumbled but the wooden second floor remains mostly intact

the newly reopened hospital in Leogane
our fearless leaders, Aaron and Andrew

"HEY YOU!" all the children shout at us blans (white people), a phrase they learned from the US troops that were here shortly after the earthquake last year
