Ayiti Day #22 - Lapli rive (the rain arrives)

During our afternoon clinic in the beloved Dufort site (NOT!), we were engulfed by torrential rains and forced to evacuate. Our hole-ridden tarps were no match against the downpour. Driving through town, we passed numerous groups of people huddled beneath awnings of any kind to stay dry until the rain passed (usually about 1 hour or so). Since I was seated on the outer edge of the bench on the tap tap, I was utterly soaked when we arrived. How will these poor people survive the hurricane season which is estimated to be more intense this year?
