I love this picture taken recently by MBB's Country Director in Haiti, Elisa Divoux. Why? Because it speaks to me of the LIFE teeming just below the surface in Haiti. Sure, there are plenty of fish in Haiti's clear blue Caribbean waters. But there is also a wealth of talent and ingenuity and resilience in the hearts of the people of Haiti. They struggle with the effects of deforestation and erosion, poor government, schools so expensive that most families cannot afford education, and a dismal lack of paid employment opportunities. Despite all this, they never give up. We could learn a lot from them....
