Good evening, i will be taking you through my past week or so in Haiti.

I recovered fully from Dengue and Strep in time to welcome my mom, who kindly came to visit me during my stay. During her time here, we visited some of the IDP camps, our compound, and several of the projects i worked on in May and during this past month. With her particular soft spot for orphans, we set out to find sleeping arrangements for the children of Ecole Rousse. Thanks to her, we have the funds and UN contacts to get these in the coming week, thanks mommy!

Sierra and I decided to come work with GrassRoots United (GRU) for a week here in Port au Prince. This is not the quiet southern town of Jacmel we are accustomed to. We have come realize how nice we have it at GVN in Jacmel, with running water, easy transit, etc... Although its a bit harder living, I am having a blast here meeting all the new people and getting my hands dirty. Along with GRU, I will be going into some of the many tent camps in the capital to teach Cholera education. This will involve basic lessons in Cholera transmission, hand washing and prevention. Im not sure how close the outside world is following the breakout, but it caused violent riots aimed at MINUSTAH (UN) today in Cap Haitian. It has been reported that a police station has been burnt, protestors shooting at the UN, and a possible UN hostage.

There are several ways to kill mosquitoes. I have gotten particularly good at these methods ever since contracting (free) Dengue from those little munts. One of my favorites is the "Payback Snipe". This is when you see a mosquito already biting you and you snipe if right then and there while asking it the question: was it worth it? This would all be a fun and harmless snipeshow if they didnt carry diseases.

In general announcements;

I got accepted to Wake Forest for my Spring transfer.

Here is the link to our segment on Fox News from the documentary shot about our work in Jacmel. Worthy of mention is that Fox did not have my consent. I might sue:
