photos - cite soleil clinic - security

Cite Soleil is still considered a red zone. To protect the medical team the Brazilian soldiers from the UN kept an eye out. Here is a tank at the end of the street.

Soldiers patrolled the street around the school. A couple of soldiers stood outside of the school building.

Here is an up close shot of the tank by the front door of the school.

The haitian police also helped in providing security. 2 police officers sat inside the school keeping a watch over the proceedings.

And the last security force involved were the "keepers of the rope". These 3 men are from Coram Deo. The man on the left is the father of a hydrocephalus baby. Lukner is the guy with the shades and the guy sitting next to him is his brother. If the rope was lowered you could get in, otherwise you stayed outside. I stayed at the front entrance too talking with people who came to the clinic and also to people on the street. We give the Lord thanks for a nice safe day!
