A couple of years back, I traveled with a group of students from my college down to Haiti to do some humanitarian work. The father of one of my buddies ran an outfit called "Project Haiti" and organized trips to Haiti several times a year. Being a surgeon, his primary focus was getting decent medical care to the poor (which is everybody) in the mountains of Haiti. After spending several years getting American doctors to donate their time and equipment, what started as a simple clinic became the best hospital in Haiti. When I went down, the mission was to help with the contstruction of several homes for people who had sold their land to Project Haiti to allow them to build an airfield. Without this airfield, it is 6 hour drive over what might be called "dirt roads", but that is being nice.
Here's the gang arriving by DC-3 in Cap Haitien:
Here's how we got around... like cargo.
Here's what I was saying about the roads. Come to a river? No problem, just drive right through!
Here's the new airport terminal building:
This is how the Haitians carried everything... BTW this was taken at a marketplace. See all those clothes piled on the ground? That's the Haitian equivalent to Old Navy.
