Campaign!

Haiti's new president, Michel Martelly, was sworn in the day we arrived in Port-au-Prince. Haiti's political system has been described as a Kleptocracy - which as you can imagine has left the people feeling pretty negative about their government. Martelly is a political outsider, a musician, and in general Haitians are very hopeful about his election. This is definitely a country that needs solid leadership and faces serious challenges when it comes to the economy, education, infrastructure, you name it. Campaign posters are scattered on the walls of several buildings in the area surrounding Maison de Lumiere so we snapped a photo of one to share.
