What I do everyday, February 10, 2025

Lots of shooting nearby, at Tabarre bridge and Croix des Bouquets as police square off with bandits.

Also lot’s of shooting in Kenscoff mountains, especially Berlot.

Estimates of those killed in the Kenscoff mountains (Bonga, Carrefour Bet, Berlot, and many other places) is at least 150, and refugees there are estimated at 5,000. Today we will invest Gds 210,000 (US $1600) to buy bales of clothes and sheets to send to the mountain refugees.

A drop in the bucket, but at least there is still a bucket to drop into.

Part of the work with the street children yesterday was filmed by Stevenson on his phone (viedo below) . It’s not a professional clip but will show a few things: the enthusiasm of the street youth for help, how the distribution has to stop occasionally to get them respect order, and the plastic baskets the team bought for them because the distribution is of sweets and treats for them to resell on the street to make a little cash.

Also, a long awaited moment for our farm: some of our VANILLA vines have first buds. Vanilla require manual pollenation, so we are watching youtube videso to be ready. See the buds below.

We want to spare the mother this, even though the surgery will not make the head normal size, and the shunt will be prone to infections, and if Jeannine lives long, more surgeries will be needed to lengthen the shunt as she grows. We are trying to help Jeannine in a failing healthcare system, with families (including hers) often on the run because of bandit attacks.

What I do every day, January 8th

While I don’t want to take pictures, we just received 13 refugees here from the massacre in Nazon, Port au Prince, a few days ago. These people had family killed and houses burned. They were here for some help to relocate them out of that area. So we gave each an envelope with enough money to get them to the provinces, and also small provisions for food. Most of these are old people, one is blind, some are limping from minor injuries. Life is too tough for them.
