I took these photos in Citi Soleil a crowded, desperately poor shanty located in Port-au-Prince. It was 2008, shortly after Haiti was pounded by 4 hurricanes. I traveled through the country by helicopter as most of the roads and bridges were destroyed. I saw towns and rice fields completely submerged in sea water and deep, thick mud. With 80 percent of the people living below the poverty line, most people unemployed, roughly half the population unable to read, a weak government and Port-au-Prince run by thugs and gangs, the future looked bleak for Haiti's beautiful children. I didn't think things could be worse. I was wrong.
