This old wooden building stood up through the earthquake.

Both sides of the street on the up and down sides of the road were blocked by dumpsters and burning tires.

Here is a street-side view of the obstacles.

The protest symbol for Haiti is the burning tire. The students have a right to protest. Pray for security in the Champ Mars, that the police arrest those responsible for the increased crime and also that the 20,000 refugees be moved to another location. When I told the people here at the house that the mayor of Port-au-Prince wanted to move the Champ Mars refugees to Goat Mountain everyone here cheered. I didn't expect that response. The Haitian people know that the Champ Mars is a bad area and that the best solution is to move the camp from the Champ Mars.

I saw a better way to use a tire. Instead of burning them , make them into toucan tires with a Dunlop (Michelin, etc.) beak and then sell them to tourists. This will improve the economy and the lives of the people who make the "Toucan Tire" souvenirs.
