Nice photo isn’t it? I had a different one, of a slum with some dudes pushing a burnt out car, but I thought, why reinforce all those negative stereotypes we have about Haiti? I think, and this is very much myself included, there is an element of racism in the way we think and grapple with Haiti.
Wow! Self-reflection! Patronization! These are only some of the great things you’ll find on my blog in the months to come. I officially welcome you, and hope you look around. I’ll try to update as often as possible, even if it means sacrificing some of my work in Haiti (priorities), which could possibly result in children learning less than they would have had I not had a blog. Well, guess we’ll never know!
