Sunday June, Something

It has been a great day of playing futbol and Dou' which is the haitian version of jacks but with rocks. It was extremely hot today but it was bearable. Everything in this side of the world is going great and I hope the same for you all. I have been told that me and my roomate James will start our english classes maybe on Tuesday with around 20 students. With one class in the morning and another in the afternoon it should make time go alot faster while I am here which I kind of do not want. I have seen alot of great stuff but I feel like there is so much more I want to do, like go into the countryside and meander with some people who have no idea what I am doing there. Time may be my enemy here in theses next weeks.

I have added some more photos to the slide show above and there is one picture of the infamous King Cola. yes it is a banana flavored and the best way i can describe it is a liquified, carbonated banana laffy taffy. haha I took to sips and it was too much. For all those King Cola drinkers out there I hope your sweet tooth doesnt fall out.

Haiti

As many of you know Haiti became the first black republic to declare its independence in 1804 spurred by a slave rebellion. Haiti now is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere with 80% of the population living under the poverty line and 54% in abject poverty. Two-thirds of all Haitians depend on the agricultural sector, mainly small-scale subsistence farming, and remain vulnerable to damage from frequent natural disasters, exacerbated by the country's widespread deforestation. Haiti has been plagued by political violence throughout its history and more recently Haiti has made news due to the Hunger crisis and rising food prices which have caused displeased Haitians to act in the form of riots and other dangerous activities. Although Haiti seems to be nothing less than chaos, there has spawned hope in organizations like OFCB who strive to educate Haitians and change the world they live in.
