It’s the poverty, I suppose. The people who are different, incomprehensible, the ones who seem to have no value because they aren’t capable of going to school or helping around the house—these people live their lives isolated from society. Marginalized, excluded... http:///reporters/jonathan/reporters/jonathan/mwen_pa_fou/en/we_are_all_searching 2011-03-27 22:21:44 http:///reporters/jonathan/reporters/jonathan/mwen_pa_fou/en/first_impressions_of_honduras They warned me:“You’ll see, Jonathan, the landing is a little dangerous!”It’s true. I don’t remember anymore who said it to me, but he or she was right. In the mountains, literally, we land on a runway that is not long enough. I finally understood why a seatbelt on an airplane is useful (I couldn’t see how I was in any danger of falling out through the windshield ...) and I laughed—hard! http:///reporters/jonathan/reporters/jonathan/mwen_pa_fou/en/first_impressions_of_honduras 2011-03-23 00:11:09 http:///reporters/jonathan/reporters/jonathan/mwen_pa_fou/en/miss_anayiz_2010 I was expecting to see two photographers, a make-up artist, her agent, and her fans when I arrived.

So much changes, in this little country that is far too often the centre of media attention, that we end up forgetting that the wind makes the green leaves of the almond tree dance in a beautiful to-and-fro movement, as it has for hundreds of years, always in the same way! http:///reporters/jonathan/reporters/jonathan/mwen_pa_fou/en/the_last_day_of_a_year_that_didnt_really_begin_until_january_12th_at_4_47_pm 2011-01-07 08:48:14 http:///reporters/jonathan/reporters/jonathan/mwen_pa_fou/en/why_aren’t_you_leaving Snoop called me a little while ago.

We are building information kiosques that will be placed in the displaced persons camps located in the cities of Port-au-Prince and Léogane. http:///reporters/jonathan/reporters/jonathan/mwen_pa_fou/en/good_news 2010-10-14 16:30:05
