I was in Jeremie, Haiti, for the summer to evaluate a four-week training for secondary school teachers, this blog is an attempt to share both my experiences in rural Haiti and the challenges and lessons learned. Now back in Washington, DC, I try to track the follow-up, as the NGO Pwof Ansanm moves into its second year.
Perennial student with a Master's in international development; currently working on a PhD in agricultural and resource economics at the University of California Berkeley. My research falls into a subset of development economics, impact evaluation, health, agriculture, behavior, and a handful of other things. In recent years, I've been fortunate to get the chance to work in Haiti, Malawi, Kenya, and Liberia. I dabble in photography and keep a collection of unusual houseplants (one is more compatible with travel than the other).
I've almost adapted to the ti bets here (bugs- literally "little beasts"). Two weeks in Dame Marie meant that my evening trips to the outhouse left me in the company of three-inch roaches and large spiders. It's been better here in my apartment in Jeremie, but Wednesday night I froze at the sight of a four-inch spider. It took me half an hour to chase it out of the apartment with a broom. I couldn't seem to kill it either...What a wimp!
