... a snapshot of life on Haiti in 2009. Described as existing in a permanent state of emergency.

The land can't sustain the population which has doubled in the past 25 years.

They have chopped down all the trees,and annihilated all the wildlife.

Haiti was once France's most prosperous colony .

The average temperature in Haiti is 75 degrees year-round, but ,unlike other Caribbean Nations,they cant grow enough food to feed themselves but rely on aid,mostly from the US,to feed their exploding population year after year.
