Leogane is located one hour from Port au Prince, 95% of homes were destroyed, 60 schools out of 61 are unusable. And 'the epicenter of the earthquake, right and left of the road is now happening all types of tents. Those who managed to get them, now sleeping in tents (mostly women with small children, and almost all the women here have, however, among their children, at least one under 5 years and am not all been so "lucky"). In this work area especially Canadians, allowing the people a direct exchange, given the common language, French. But the majority is now housed in makeshift camps, mostly made of wooden planks and sheets to the wind they see the very small temporary shelter. Today, Saturday, the day of commissioning and market, met mainly by going around small children. On the way, near Carrefour, a long row at least a couple of miles made up only of women waiting to take their food intake by the blue helmets. At 7 this morning, on my return, at 14 the line was even longer and the sun hot. On one side of the road, the women waiting for their turn, on the other side men, who are not allowed to receive food.

Leogane were in a community a little 'inside, between the banana trees and bean crops lie infinite semi-transparent sheets. Here aid is almost there, the sheets waxed that slowly infused into the city, here they are still waiting and meanwhile make the proof of the rainy season with some rain that's been in weeks. It 's a very precarious situation that clashes with the bright green all around.
There's a lot to do, but above all, you need to come and aid that allow Haitians to become independent within a short time, and here and there feel interesting projects to be developed, by scavengers who are now in their thousands to clean up the town, a few ideas on how to create in a short time of buying homes safer containers which come with aid and turning them into housing much more.
The day was very intense, I go to sleep.
