This building is typical of the schools we saw during our travels. There is no glass at the windows and natural light must filter in from outside. Electricity is usually not available. View of a Haitian tomb. The cemeteries in Haiti are fascinating.
Most tombs are above ground, and the reason appears to be cultural.
The cemeteries I visited were in mountainous areas and do not involve problems with water that would prevent burial below ground. Apparently, more affluent people are buried in these raised tombs and poor people go into the earth. Unfortunately, many tombs are far more luxurious than most Haitian homes. This is a view of a neighborhood in the City of Hinche. The sight of impoverished children is always very painful.
