Haiti


Labadie, Haiti

This is my memory of Haiti.

This tourist beach is deceiving. Unlike many of the other islands in the Caribbean, Haiti has not had the opportunity to build up a tourism industry. This little slice doesn't give tourists any means to know of economic distress that most Haitians face.

Haiti is a beautiful island that has much potential, despite the history of poverty and struggle.

My prayers are with the Haitians and all of those who are working hard to assist them in this time of sorrow and desperation.
