HAITI: A ISLAND ROOTED IN RESILIENCE




On Tuesday, the entire world stood attention when a massive earthquake struck Haiti. (Personally, it felt like a where-you-were when 9/11 struck moment.)
The event sobering yet so unimaginable tugged on heartstrings across continents. A country plagued with poverty, crime and further alarming statistics made me stop and deeply think. Deeply think about the economical blows and other destruction Haiti has endured.
A silver lining grows in every dark cloud. The quake may have left homes and building structures in shambles, but their unbending, resilient spirit to rebuild is clear and truly inspiring.

The images post earthquake circulating are grim and tough to bear. MR. MSR never visited the country but wanted to join other changemakers and shine added light + hope on a beautiful storied Caribbean island.
THE HAITI YOU REMEMBER. THE SPLENDOR BOUND TO RETURN.

Thank you for sharing these beautiful images. It is also my hope that Haiti will rise above it's circumstances. And judging by the history of that country I am convinced it will! Start planning your visit MR MSR.
