tends to place saint pierre, Petionville




impressions of these days convey all nell'accorgersi of how much force there is around. Unfortunately there are not many places where you have a massive influx of aid. The airport area is that which at first sight seems the most served: tent clean and help dozens of machines that run the streets, because it is here that houses the largest number of logistics bases of the many humanitarian organizations. People say that it is precisely in that area to ensure that the great people who arrive by plane (tomorrow sarkozy does not mention the other ..) can have a positive idea of \u200b\u200bwhat you're doing, how things are working well and the ubiquity with which they are distributed. But then in other parts we complain about the inefficiency, lack of drinking water and tents. Because if so far the weather was good, it took only one rainy afternoon last week to send hundreds of tents in the chaos (and hundreds of thousands of people) that are found in every street of Port au Prince and Petionville. This is because the curtains put up for protection from the sun, I am totally counterproductive to the rain, the water boards, flooding everything. The speed does not look like a dominant feature, who knows maybe we Westerners here has taken the Haitian rhythms to their detriment .. And if now is a
stalemate that people are allowed to live in every corner of the city, soon will come the warnings of the government to clear at least the main squares, and where will everyone? Why L'Aquila, for example, is a bit 'been able to overcome host from becoming friends, acquaintances ... but here everyone has lost something ..
Turn to downtown, the city center, leaving stunned, as if you entered a parallel dimension, that the brain can not believe is true. Everything fell apart, some activity remained standing has already reopened, perhaps with a roof hovering above. The danger was another, now you walk quietly between walls and under buildings that seems unstable can sell it with a minimum gust of wind. But then there is this desire to do at the expense of a situation that many other countries would remain stuck to cry on. Yesterday I went to Carrefour, a mountainous area a few kilometers from PaP (but at least 40 minutes by car), is 1800metri, the air is fresh and many people have their own piece of land to cultivate. Here, too many houses are collapsed, aid, if they arrive, who knows when they reach here. So families are gearing up to rebuild themselves their place to live. And they are all proactive, who has not been damaged but the neighbor who helps a month sleeping outdoors, who is' studying engineering sketches any plans for reconstruction. As small communities, it is also easier to find a sense of cooperation among the people, not that this is missing in the capital ..
three days have passed since I arrived but as always, the intensity of these moments is all live as if the days are dilated and finish the evening with his mind full and distraught.
Today was the first working day since I am here, after three days of national prayer because Friday was a holiday celebration as a month after the earthquake and Saturday and Sunday of course, many businesses close. There was no traffic in recent days, the daily reality today is facing bullying and distances are incredibly elongated. Anyone who sells something, and obviously it does on the road, this means that in many areas it barely manages to pass by car and on foot you go 'much faster than with the means. I am not yet fallen in the city today, but when I went there on Saturday morning was also impressive was that all the silence around you Possoni decumani thistles and see each other, in the midst of buildings exist. Among these is the courthouse, government, economy, collection, cultural institutions ... and in the middle of the Champs de Mars plaza full of tents, thousands of people who can get a live one stuck to another . A country where the roots of the system are collapsed, and if before the government did little now does nothing.
Around the cathedral-symbol, a lot of people to pray, gathered around the pastor-speakers, and so in various corners of the city. A little 'gave me the feeling of Hyde Park, where Sunday who wants to take the word gets up on the stool and people gathering around. Haiti is a country with a strong believer, and are many religions and mingling with each other. The population, now more than ever in need of spirituality, he needs to concentrate the mind on what he believes, and made it happen in different times of day.
yesterday in the mountains, the area here called the "Switzerland of the Caribbean" son was in a community center that practice eco agriculture and helps the locals. There was a masseuse that says that since there was an earthquake, has not stopped working, patients continue to arrive with terrible back pain and leg, due to the shocks and the way they have managed to save. Many have nightmares or night just can not sleep. In homes, the first thing that broke was the TV, so now, who can not buy another and probably is not a house, we meet in the assembly, or simply listen to the radio, that here has always been the major means of dissemination of information and culture. Today I've been in three radio stations here and in Petionville dans la ville, some collapsed, others for several weeks have moved their offices open, so great was the fear of further earthquakes. Now the situation is a bit 'stabilized, and I am aware of how their work is necessary to keep the people, and even distract her with music. How will tomorrow, the day of celebration, here is the famous Mardi Gras carnival, but it will be another day of prayer without masks and follies jokes.
Sorry for the many errors, I write quickly in the short time I have. Today the internet does not charge me the pictures, or maybe ...

after a month


How do I start talking about something that has been said so much already and seen ..?!
The roads, as always, are a different thing when we walk, to smell, it crosses the looks of the people. And you realize that something is back in what could assimilate abbian from afar. What we are told is the most tragic, a tragic but hopeless, what is news and that people outside the door for the umpteenth time to see Haiti as the poorest place in the Western Hemisphere, as every article there on time recalls. But there is something else and fortunately neither the strength nor the feelings of people with money can be quantified. There are markets that swarm on each side of the road, there is a will to start over, to work, to occupy their days not content to stand still and watch life passing in front, you have these tents everywhere, each square has become the quintessential public place, because you can not see not even one square meter free, and all thickly populated. But for now, the only tends to the UN I saw them in their fields, not in those where there are Haitians, who were equipped with tents only with towels and fabrics of luck ... And the feeling is not had never seen a place so full of people. E 'in the normal hot spots where many of the works are for the day and especially outdoors, have the feeling that there is no limit to people who may be found in every nook and cranny, every glimpse of our gaze tracking. And so it is here.
Son arrived by bus from Santo Domingo, a journey that usually lasts for 5 hours now it has become much slower, at least 8 hours. The border is a gate where cars go one way, and now there are many, is to get to that exit. Besides, yesterday was also market day in the border area, the market for books, without taxes and with tons of flour, sugar, rice, carried over the heads of women. In the chaos of waiting, someone opened the doors of a bus taking the suitcases were not his, which has complicated even more on our trip, having to figure out who they were missing their luggage, looking through the crowd we could have them taken. Luckily now I've learned that these are things that happen and I had taken my place just above where I knew there was my backpack.
bus, Port au Prince seemed a bit 'that terrible multimedia video that CNN pulled out a few days after the earthquake, when you could decide which way to go with the mouse and follow different alternatives. I saw only the left side of my window, alternate concrete constructions never finished in white space, where we understand that before there was something from the piles of bricks and cement They come now placed at the ends of the streets, when there are too many . The buildings collapsed are still big there, with people trying to find some useful material for the reconstruction of copper wires, planks of wood, brick blocks intact ..
Regardless of how I imagined, not seen around in many cars of aid, occasionally there are jeep United Nations, and they pass two worlds seem so far away .. all of them covered to the teeth with weapons ready to be used , the other lightweight clothes in a normal country in which you touch the 40 degrees for 5 hours a day. Now I write there is a helicopter that passes me in even 20 meters, it is full, the noise is more widespread since I arrived, come and go.
Am I in Petion-Ville, the upper area of \u200b\u200bthe city, high in all directions, even the richest, that which has always decided the future of the country, Duvalier (Papa Doc) and his Tonton Macoutes to Aristide. But not now with Preval, he is sitting 'somewhere near the airport, like any other spectator. And people complain about this, complaining that his wrist did not have to handle the situation even slightly, all expected something from him, because after so many years of dictatorship madman, finally a head of government that put a little 'd 'Agreement all without the use of force. Although of course, never completely clean and clear. And there are so many questions, first, is most present, but all the money it says the governments and people throughout the West left and won, where are they? Comes never to the entire population? Because right now there are areas "well served", in which fortunately there is water that food "enough", and others where it is allowed only to see the bottom of the frequent passing helicopters. And nothing more.

Today is a month after the earthquake, is a day of national holiday, not working and people gather for the harvest of all religions, from Catholic to Protestant to voodoo, others gather to sing and be together From the terrace where the wind takes me I'm songs and radio on.
sleep at the home of Jean Yves, a man that has happened since the earthquake, is home to at an affordable price and TV journalists from around the world, once they are Brazilian, the other Chinese, after the Poles. It 's a good solution, a hundred meters from the Villa Creole, one of the hubs of information and to those who come to the place where I'm going to connect to the internet and send this post. Maybe every other day should close to allow for the renovation, there are also several areas of the hotel collapsed and outside kitchen with grill. A friend of Jean-Yves, in a sarcastic tone / true here tells me that he does not turn reinforced, but just landed at Miami it is now carrying a weapon.
That is to say the danger is a relative thing.

And this is, for now, I can tell.
