We hear a lot about devastation and hardship in Haiti. The earthquake and its aftermath. The coups, the upheaval. The cholera and the lack of opportunity. And while all of these things are part of Haiti’s reality, there is so much more to the country than the suffering.
Now that we’ve returned from two trips to Haiti where we’ve been planning for our next candle-making adventure with Haitian women, we thought we’d share some of our journey in images.
Our photos attempt to share some of the spirit of Haiti – the artwork, the people, the beautiful landscape. There is an infectious spirit of creativity and resilience that has captivated and inspired us.
