In the words of Ewan MacGregor, "The Long Way Down"

I feel that this is where I belong, to be seeing what I am seeing, and meeting the people I am meeting. I feel I absolutely belong in this moment - it's where I should be. And luckily it's where I find myself. -Ewan MacGregor, The Long Way Down

The Wall


This wall is a small part of the perimeter that separates Cite Soleil Cholera Treatment Centre outside of Port au Prince from the massive slum called Cite Soleil.

On 'our' side of the wall, (relative) safety, security, lawfulness, community, caring, order, and freedom from want.

On the outside, terror, need, lawlessness, hopelessness, insecurity, and chaos.

And yet, at 1 am, you can hear the beautiful sound of voices raised in praise music. Just outside the wall. :)

There IS hope here.
