Over het Ebook
One Day in Port-au-Prince puts you in the shoes of ordinary Haitians with extraordinary stories of the 2010 earthquake and its aftermath. Their stories are a reminder that even in the shadow of tragedy, life goes on. People do what they can to cope.
You'll meet a Voodoo priest who takes a stand against mass burials, a young mother forced to sell her own body and a former professional goalkeeper who rhapsodises about soccer's power to heal. In the camps, spend time with to a 73-year-old grandmother, a caregiver nicknamed "St. Anne" and an enterprising hairdresser.
Charismatic street hawkers complete this intimate portrayal of life after the earthquake: the woman who sells textbooks yet can't afford to send her own kids to school; the kerbside petrol vendor; the whiskey and champagne man; and a dealer in scrap metal salvaged from the rubble.
First published by the Thomson Reuters Foundation in 2011, this edition of text and photos by Timothy Large reprises stories of resilience, ingenuity and courage.
