These images are from the sides of the roads close to Cite Soleil, in Port au prince, Haiti. Not only is there a problem with food, shelter and clean water but the waste is building up at such an incredible level that it is unsafe to even breath the air. There is this thick scent in the air and when the humidity is high, it makes it impossible to find clean air to breath. There is still a problem with decomposed bodies in buildings that have not been removed, on delmas before I left I saw a dog, pig and cat eating waste like the ones pictured. I wondered if they also eat the animals that graze these garbage compounds. It is a tragity the events that Haiti has indured, even before the earthquake there was an extreme amount of poverty, sanitation and problems with clean water. Now it is at such an extreme amount that at times it is hard to even imagine the damage, living conditions and extent of help needed for Haiti.
Please help us in our efforts to bring relief for the tent cities in and around Delmas and Petion Ville, located in Port au Prince. We need to help them in any way possible. www.pinpartnership.org

Hello. My name is Jennifer. I started this blog to document my trip to Haiti. I am the review page and future page coordinator for PINP . My trip to Haiti will start on December 6th, 2009. I will be updating posts, pictures and videos ;as often as possible. I do want to share with the viewers and followers that I am worried.. and at the same time excitingly anticipating this trip. I feel that we all need to help those in poverty in anyway possible. I heard warnings the other day...like: Don't go outside after 6pm, watch your feet when walking anywhere, Talk softly in the slums, out of respect?..and a few other important hints. I do want my viewers and followers to keep in mind that I have never left America, except two trips through Canada to return to Alaska and if you can count Hawaii?? not exactly..so my main hope is to be able to find out what the people need for their futures, ways to help PINP , work with the staff for PINP and to see for own eyes the situations effecting Haitian people, their culture and most importantly their future. This is your personal invitation to follow me through a nation that has so many beautiful people, in serious life threatening living conditions. I hope that it helps bring awareness to the situations that PINP is working hard to resolve, and hopefully there is a moment when it connects you with someone that you will see, and personally want to start a relationship with , and if you feel that you are ready to make a relationship with someone from a different place then yours and help build that relationship with a child slave, mother with starving children or to help a child go to school , this is a way to personally start a partnership- a friendship ; please visit, www.pinpartnership.org . I also would like to mention that my partner is Naser Gardy, I have been his partner since May. I have received letters, video's and we have built a strong friendship from such a distance apart..the beautiful thing that is going to happen is - we will meet face to face for the first time. I will be posting video's and picture's as often as I possible can..which makes me excited to finally have the chance to meet him. Welcome to my blog. I hope you join me on my journey to understanding poverty , helping PINP and seeing a real meeting of true partnership.````````````````````
