Canaan is a desert like community, but people are trying to add greenery to the community.
Pastor Marcelin is the bald man to the right of the photo wearing a blue long-sleeved shirt. He did a good job of organizing everything.
This is a tarp home that is slowly being adapted. It now has a tin roof and the owner is trying to grow trees, which will one day provide shade.
Everyone in Canaan has a difficult existence, but you can see that they are trying. I didn't see any large NGO's out there, other than the tarps that were handed out to people. The living space is more open for the people out here, much better than in Port-au-Prince. People watch out for the community. I think that because they are on their own the people know that they have to watch out for each other.
Looking at all the greenery that is around you can tell that it is all new. People are making a community. It will be interesting to see how Canaan will change over the years.
