When the Earth Trembled !

January 12, 2010 - The foundation of the Haitian Capital ( Port-au-Prince) was savagely rattled by one of the deadliest earthquakes of our era. We could easily hear the screams of the whole population in distress during the aftershocks subsequent to the main jolt. The assessment was disastrous. Nevertheless, the inheritance that must be bequeathed to the next generation depends in many aspects of the knowledge acquired in the laboratory of that humanitarian drama, if the lessons were well learned. Thereby, through this book, I offer an account drawn from various phases of the earthquake, and the extrication of some snapshots of life in the camp, with the hope that after reading, other components will be added to your perspectives of life, as it did for me after that Tuesday, January 12.
