I started this project 7 months ago with a simple question: How does someone fight #cancer in #Haiti? The answer led me to some incredible women and children who are trying to live despite no radiation & limited treatment options. My story:

The body that oversees policing in Haiti met today and is demanding a thorough investigation into the incidents that occurred Friday at the Port-au-Prince airport where protesters breached the security while PM was meeting with top Biden official on security and policing matters.

This time last week we were preparing for #PapJazz in #Cap-Haitien after I spent the afternoon walking the city. A week later, tires are burning as part of an ongoing police protest. Welcome to@the volatility of #Haiti where things turn for the worse at a moment’s notice.

Dimanche noir au Cap-Haïtien : les policiers protestataires ont boulversé le Boulevard,la principale place commerciale de la ville. Ils ont pris en chasse ceux qui se trouvaient dans plusieurs bars et ont emporté l'arme d'un agent de sécurité à « Gran Lakou » en face de #CapDeli.
