-People selling and eating cookies made out of dirt
-People selling fly-covered food on the streets
-People using cups to get water from the ditches and streets
-Injured children who have created makeshift crutches for themselves
-People using used coke bottles to bottle the water from the
street gutters and selling them
-The determination in the eyes of the young teens selling
things on the street
-Having to wear face masks to protect myself from disease,
even though I'd much rather touch and hug the kids and connect with them, show
them I really care
-Signs everywhere in graffiti and signs in English or Creole saying
“Need help” and “We need water”, or names written on walls of persons missing
-Amputees standing in line for food
At one point, I had to close my eyes…this reality didn’t
seem real.
