Port-au-Prince is a big city with a high unemployment rate. Some of the people sell things like this man who is selling crackers and snacks to the people waiting in front of Killick.
The man with the plastic box balanced on his head is taking a break selling a food snack to watch the goings-on inside the base.
People were happy when it was there turn to enter the gates.
Some curious passersby would ask the coast guard security what was taking place in side.
Samantha is an 11-year-old girl who came to the base to see the orthopedic doctor for leg deformitys. The doctor gave her a reference to go to another orthopedic hospital here in Port-au-Prince.
