On a long walk to the waterfall we found a very charming house, which we all remember many years later. No latrine or trees for shade. Rural Hinche Haiti.
As a Volunteer, I worked with women's groups who borrowed money in groups. We also incorporated literacy and health programs. Here we're making a sign for a group event to celebrate the end of a health program.
While doing a reproductive health training course, one of the mothers brought her baby and I held him the whole time. I was always holding babies everywhere I went.
This rural waterfall called Basin Zim was a local place to bathe, gather water and relax. As Volunteers, we would visit often. We swam and bathed there, too.
I lived with a host family in rural Haiti. 9 years later I stopped by for a surprise visit with old pictures of us. After a few minutes, word got around that I was there and all the neighbors came by to say hi and see. Archaie, Haiti.
I lived with a family in Hinche, Haiti for a few months before moving out on my own. I kept in close touch with Fabienne, this little girl, and she came by often to play. This day we colored and read stories that my mom sent from the States.
I used to join my host mother at the market where she sold bananas and veggies. She usually carried everything on her head, but since I was with her, we shared the load. Archaie, Haiti.
I loved this picture. The crooked, leaning house with a blue door. Haiti is full of the most beautiful colors, but I'm not sure if this was a house or a bus stop.
Haiti is known for it's beautiful, bright colors and iron work. The peace corps office had this sign made, right before the program was ended due to a political coup in the country in 2004.
