You have serious health issues to contend with. Open sewage, dead bodies, rampant disease....that, and criminals. Haiti isnt really a nice place. It hasnt been for a long time. Thats just the way it is. Being concerned for ones safety, in a hostile area, is kind of what we preach here....it may not be a war zone, but you still need to watch out for the criminal element. Which, in Haiti, is a large chunk of the populace.
My heart goes out to the children there though. They had nothing to begin with; now, with a large part of them orphaned, they dont even have parents to watch over them. It breaks my heart to see adults taking the food from kids from a couple of the food drops. That is, unfortunately, the lifestyle of the poor in that country though.
