Flag of Haiti Ouanaminthe, Haiti
Thursday, May 10, 2007

This entry will be brief... just wanted to update you guys and let you know that I'm taking a break from my Spanish studies in Pamplona, Spain to spend a couple of weeks in Haiti. My friend Mark Thompson is a professional photographer and was wanting to produce short documentaries about the Hope for Haiti Children's Center in Ouanaminthe, Haiti.

I'll write more soon about the experience. In the meantime, please enjoy this short video we produced to share some of what we've seen already. Here's a link to the page where the video is hosted:

In order to preserve some of the quality of the original, this had to be a fairly large file. It is 84 mb, so be sure you are on a broadband connection when you load the page.

More updates soon!
