Another tent city was cleared this week. This one was huge and right in front of the National Palace. It was cleared one section at a time and now, this week, the last section was taken down. In this video from Haitian President Martelly's facebook page, one man (the one in the aqua colored shirt) explains how he was living there all this time with his children, reports being given $4000 toward rebuilding his. He states that he is very happy.

The video also reports how many Haitians are happy that they have this park to enjoy (they even use the English word 'enjoy' mixed in the Creole). A young man expresses that he's happy to have the park again, that for people in the poor, crowded neighborhoods surrounding the park, it means a lot to be able to come to an open space like this.
