Haiti is different. Really different. You see pictures online or videos in the news but nothing can fully prepare you for the real thing. This is my first time in a different country and it has really been an eye-opener for me because there is so much to take in. The roads in Haiti, for one, are very different from those in the U.S. There are no road signs to tell you which corner you are on, no stop signs to direct traffic, and for the most part, no rules. Drivers will use sidewalks to avoid potholes or drive into oncoming traffic to pass a slow car but the chaos remains organized all the same; I have yet to see a single accident.

This is Haiti in a nutshell. It’s not all the horror stories you read about in the news or the scary videos you see on T.V., it is a place where things get done just like anywhere else and everyone has a great time doing it. That said, there is still work to be done and any help is much appreciated. We have begun the installation of wireless networks on two of the three University campus’ we would like to cover by the end of our trip and the group is hoping that it will help to give students here what they want.
