Central&South America

Read about and see pictures of Port-au-Prince (Haiti) When our bus pulled in from Santo Domingo, we realized we had arrived in Pétionville, a suburb of Port-au-Prince and far from where we wanted to stay. A taxi driver/painter took us in his rickety car down to the city, where it was not easy to find a good place to stay. Early next morning, we set out for a first exploratory walk in the Haitian capital, and explored the Champs de Mars, the central area which also is the main sightseeing zone. We saw a black column with the constitution of 1804, establishing the newly born independent state of Haiti. On the square, several squads of teenagers were energetically playing football, watched by an enthusiastic crowd. Travel to Port-au-Prince (Haiti)

Help Haiti

As someone who has visited Haiti a few years ago, I can tell you that even before the horrible earthquake, it was one of the poorest countries I ever visited. I was struck by the history of the country, the courage of people to live in difficult circumstances, the faith they had that their future would be better - one day.
The misery and destruction that the country is facing right now, can only have one answer: massive global support. Not just short-term relief for the victims of today, but also long-term efforts to support the people in their development. I would like to ask you to select an organization of your choice and donate.
Today.
Moreover, we at Traveladventures.org will donate the proceeds of this months ads on our site to an organization committed to long-term support.

On a personal note: I just learned that the guesthouse we stayed in in Haiti back in 2007 was flattened by the earthquake - with two staff losing their lives. What a chilling thought.
