Work for Food program
The other day I posted a picture (Feb. 8th) of some people cleaning the streets with the same color T-shirts. I just heard today that this program existed before (I used to see people cleaning the streets with the same color T-shirts, but now it's not just trash, but rubble, too) but before it was mostly older people. Now it's all kinds of people joining in. These days, it's the job lots of people want. They're paying $40Haitian/day (About $6US) and you're allowed to do it as fast as you want. So some are getting their area clean in only 2 hours. Elysee said that a taxi driver told him he wished he could get that job so he could buy gas for his taxi. Apparently they are hiring one group for a month, then another group for the next month.
