Boredom

Jacmel, Haiti

I am in Haiti for the summer, volunteering at a Wellness Program.  I am living in a house and the only non-Haitian in the area.

The poverty is very tough on these people. But so is the boredom. They sit all day with very little to say to one another. During the day, they hide inside their houses to avoid the heat. But as the sun goes down, the streets come alive with lots of activity. People roam the neighborhood, looking for someone, something to break the monotony.
