Haiti’s future

When out walking it is common for me to hear, “Foto! Foto!”. Seeing my camera the children call to me asking to have their photograph taken. I have learned that immediately after taking the photo I need to turn the camera around and show the children their picture. There is great delight and often laughter when the children see their image. You see, there are few mirrors in Haiti and the children don’t often get a glimpse of themselves. Small children can easily identify their friends in the photograph but are somewhat surprise to learn they are the person standing next to their friend …the awe and wonder of self discovery.
