Disaster being transformed into Reconstruction.

Having visited Haiti regularly since shortly after the earthquake in 2010 expressing the solidarity of the Methodist Church in Britain with the people and church in Haiti, this time I was impressed by how everywhere disaster is being transformed into reconstruction. Thousands of people are still living in tents but the mountains of rubble and streets clogged with people living in tents have largely disapeared. There is a growing sense of order, repair and reconstruction is taking place. These images demonstrates some of the changes. The first is of the "Champ de Mars" shortly after the earthquake followed by the scene today. The next is an image of twisted metal and rubble bound together in a twisted mess the following is of a street full of small traders selling all kings of food and services - with larger business premises in the process of being rebuilt. Finally, The National Palace as it was in 2010 followed by the view of it recently - the chaos for disaster is being torn down giving space for the seeds of pride to germinate and grow afresh.
