There is a troika of articles in the New York Times that acknowledge the 3 month anniversary of the January 12 earthquake in Haiti.
Here we have a graffiti artist with the gift of sight.
In this article, the author talks about a post-earthquake return to his home in Carrefour, after an absence of 24 years.
[I'll stop in Carrefour Friday after I arrive in Haiti, on my way to Leogane, to see what help I can offer to a friend of a friend. His name is Douglas, and his father is a community leader, pastor, and schoolmaster in Carrefour. They've had trouble getting any real help from NGOs.]
And here is an article about the gradual return to life -- far from normal, but life nonetheless. "...flashes of light in a landscape that reminds us of life’s brevity."
