Written byJanine Mendes-Franco

how can they hear reports from Jacmel, Haiti: “There is certainly a shift taking place here in the last 2 days. Life seems to be getting back to normal… In no way do I want it to sound like life is peachy in Jacmel, because I’m sure that for many, it is not. But the point is that life is resuming here… Food is available. Gas is available. Moto taxis are once again crowding the narrow streets.”
