Two months later…

Since this blog is read only by people that know me – you probably know that I’m still in Haiti. I didn’t write for a while for several reasons: I was busy, I was on vacation in Israel and…. the 3 legged purple alien stopped seeming strange.

Meanwhile: Haiti selected a president. The second round of votes and the result announcement were peaceful and everyone is expecting a peaceful entrance to office next week. We’re not sure if it’s us being optimistic or a real change but it seems that somebody has been cleaning the garbage off the streets since the election results were published. Cleaner streets are not only nicer and more hygienic. In my mind they are connected to giving dignity to the people walking and living there.

We are still living in the city and spend too much time in traffic on the way to the village every day. Every day in the street we still see:

-         someone fighting

-         people asking us for food

-         someone dancing

People are still trying to improve their situation over the other millions of miserable people, but not letting that stop them from being happy for the smallest excuse.
