As I went through my notes from the past week, I came across something from the 1st day that I want to share with you. The fellow who will soon be the head of both the National Office in Haiti and the Emergency Response Office is M. Jean Claude Mukadi. At the event I attended on the first day, he spoke to all the WV staff in attendance. He noted that World Vision has three goals in Haiti...
1 - Resist Suffering
2 - Bring Hope
3 - Bring Justice
What I especially liked was that he described hope as "the ability to hear the music of the future" .... "etre capable d'entendre la musique du futur"...

Below are some photos from the past week...

| One of many, many feral dogs (also many goats, chickens, pigs, etc. wander the city streets) |

| Boy painting a sign/mural for a reconstructed school (look closely for the penciled-in sketch he is painting) |

| The two engineers and driver that work with me. |

| Two forms of "public transit" in PaP - the Tap Tap in the foreground is a pickup with benches in the back and people filled to the brim. In the background is a truck loaded with charcoal and men hitching a ride on top. |

| Absolutely beautiful, vibrant paintings lining a rock wall at a market near one of the IDPs. The Tap Tap's and stores are also very colorfully painted. |
