Meet Bos Dieusel, The Builder of the New Town of Canaan Haiti
There is a new town being built in Haiti...
BY THE PEOPLE...
The town of Canaan...
10,000 families and a few latrines!
Naje Pou Soti!
I saw this photo in the Miami Herald but it's really the caption that caught my attention... It reads:
Carpenter, Dieusel Pierre, 53, works on the assembly of a neighbor's home inside the makeshift settlement of Canaan where many are not waiting for international aid - they are clearing trees, building roads and erecting homes themselves. Pierre stands outside his own home which is still under construction.
WOW!
This is what happens when people are left to fend for themselves... This has always been the case for my people.
Let me ask you a question:
Really... When God forbid... another disaster strikes and thousands of people die because of poor construction...
Eske se fot Bos Dieusel?
