Abstract
In June 2009, I was sitting in Fond Verretes, a beautiful area in Haiti near the Dominican border. I was cooking a humble dish of old bread and canned sardines, with the help of a solar kitchen. Around me, watching me work with this solar cooker, were some locals and members of CESAL – a Spanish nongovernmental organization, with a few projects in Haiti and around the world. In a nearby area, children were playing with a ball made out of plastic bags that they had collected over time. I was struck by the expression of happiness on their faces. Looking at them, you would not imagine that their country just suffered a devastating loss of life, changing completely the way their nation would run itself over the next several decades.
