Far-Flung Villages in Haiti

Over the years that I’ve been flying back and forth between Port Au Prince and Jacmel I’ve wondered about the people who live in those far-flung villages in the valleys and mountains below that make me think of Peru. There are no roads just trails leading to the houses that are clearly not accessible by vehicle. I’ve wondered about medical care and how they handle emergencies and education and food. I’ve wondered if the innocence I sense in Ridoré exists in these far-flung villages; I wonder what it will be like when I get there.

About Jeane La Rance

About six years ago I joined up with a group of Haitian Medical Professionals based in New Orleans. I volunteer as their documentary photographer – I love working for them, they are an amazing group of people that I am proud to be associated with. I hope to continue working with them for along time. Most recently I started teaching digital photography in our village of Ridoré to high school students in LaVallée. What an experience it is turning into.
