My Haitian Host family during traing, 9 years later. I went back for a visit with another RPCV and there were two more kids, a new home and wonderful memories. Training in Akaye (Archaie)near Port.
I was visiting the island of Lagonav off the coast of Haiti and a group of boys were in a boat and when the saw me all jumped in at the same time. This picture was taken just seconds before they jumped.
Haitian boys loved getting their picture taking. They often posed in a serious way. I had a digital camera at the time and showed them the picture after.
I'm washing dishes here on my porch. I had the neighbor kids get water for me and I washed with a soap powder that I used for washing clothes, dishes and the house.
Out my second story window, you can see my latrine (orange door) and kitchen straight ahead and shower to the left. Some of the year, there was a water basin, but I treated the water with bleach because there was algae and mosquitoes.
I translated for a visiting vet in Haiti. They spayed a dog right in front of us while the local vet students watched. I learned a lot of vocabulary that day.
