Smiles Replacing Sorrow in Haiti

You step off the airplane and the hustle

begins. This is Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Bags are temporarily possessed by throngs of porters pushing for tips. Then we are off in a pickup truck with our hosts Margaret Penicaud from the Vineyard, who heads up the Haiti Fish Farm Project here, and Margo Barnes.

It has been 15 months since my last visit and these are my impressions, two years after the devastating earthquake that claimed tens of thousands of lives.
