***Take note: getting your photo taken in Haiti is still a privilege. It is culturally acceptable to not smile in a portrait in order to take it seriously.
ABNER - Abner is in his yound 20's. He is a woodworker. He is projected to be the next teacher for the classes to aid Dieulange. He handmade a jewelry box for me the day I left as a thank-you. Haitian people are very giving and try to return any favor that has been imparted to them.
