The "Neg Mawon" is a national symbol for the freedom fighters who were slaves. Unfortunately somebody came by and spray painted graffiti on the mural. "Aba demon" means "down with the demon". I don't know if this was done by someone who doesn't like Yves Cristalin. Maybe it was meant for the scary looking picture on the mural of the gate a few photos back!
This portrait represents the heroes of Independance; when Haiti finally became free from slavery to the plantation owners.
These portraits are copies of statues located on the Champ Mars downtown.
The last mural picture I took at Lavni headquarters was the Haitian emblem and beside that the symbol for the handicapped. Pray that the future holds full inclusion into Haitian society.
Saturday was the last opportunity for people to pick up their electoral id cards at the mayor's office on Delmas 31. On Friday there was a lot of pushing and shoving on the grounds as people wanted to get to the front of the line. Police were called and they stayed until things were under control. With Saturday being the last day the gates were closed and nobody was getting in! People passed in their id receipt to an attendant inside and he in turn handed it to someone else to search for the voting card. Several hundred people were there that day as were there every day for the last couple of weeks. Everyone wanted their card.
