Kids excursion

July 6th, 2010

It’s 12 days that I am in Haiti now. This time I am not taking many pictures, but I am recording video. With the Canon 5D Mark II the quality of the videos is brilliant! So I’m interviewing people about the earthquake and will create a multimediapiece with these videos and the pictures I have taken in January and March.

A recent multimediapiece that I created can be seen here: http://www.vimeo.com/10980698 It’s about the new movement of Witchcraft in the Western World.

Haiti is hot, extremely hot. It has not been as hot in the last years. It makes me very tired very quickly. I am lacking energy because my body isn’t used to this heat and humidity. The people residing in tents go through a awful situation right now. It’s extremely hot, diseases are spreading, and when it starts raining everything gets extremely wet - yesterday we witnessed pouring rain for more than one hour.

I’m documenting the progress at MEVA, the school that Viv Timoun supports. It’s moving forward, which is great to see. Last Friday, the children of the school made an excursion to a little zoo. The saw a turtle and many rabbits. They spent the whole day ther, played, sang and had lots of fun.

Here are some pictures:
