Curious kids checking me out while I wait for a ride across the Dominican border.

A woman and her grandson in Corozo. Some Haitians tie strings or beads around their children's necks or waists to protect them from illness or bad lwa (spirits).

I don't remember now what this little girl came in for, but she was awful cute.

Clemencia's brother Nikol comes by the clinic sometimes to help. Here he's interpreting a patient's Kreyol into Spanish for me so I can interpret it into English for a visiting American doctor.

A Dominican doctor visits us with a load of medicines and spends the day treating patients. Clemencia put on a silly hat for the kids and ended up wearing it all day.

Kids wait outside the clinic for their mother.

We found this little girl and her family in the mountains while surveying the area for clean water sources. There were four people living in this tiny lean-to made of sticks and leaves, growing manioc on the side of a hill.
