From Turgeau in Haiti: An Early Morning, Food Distribution, and Kids

Early this morning we waited to prep a bunch of dump trucks for duty at our sites:

Down a steep mountain road from one of our sites the UN was distributing food. The Marines were out in full force though it looked like they were totally bored. I talked to a couple and they were curious about other relief efforts. Haitians collected bags of rice and headed back up the hill:

Kids here are a bright spot. While so many are orphaned or homeless, going without food or medicine — or worse — they’re still kids. On the street today a few were hanging out and joking around in a “tap-tap” bus (that could also go in quotes). They kept yelling to me, “Mon blanc!”

    Hey Mon Blanc! Love your photos (per usual) and bite sized observations. Take care out there.

    Great photos and commentary. Reminds me of days in DC when the neighbors called me “whitehead.” While bored, wondering if the marines, many of whom probably did tours in Mid-East, are more inspired by the task at hand.
