This is the one entrance into the barrio, El Caciq. The motorcycle is heading out. It is very dangerous as you can see it is a narrow passageway with a hill blocking your view of what might lie ahead. Also, there are no lights on any of the streets (if thats what you can call them). Community members (la gente) say this is where the "delinquents" (criminals) wait to jump anyone who enters or attempts to leave in the evening/night/early morning. Muggings occur frequently at the en
trance.
This is day two of the survey/census. And the gentleman on my left is my translator and right hand man...Franscico! He is such a great guy who loves the Lord, loves his family, and loves all the kids of El Cacique especially the girls who are his daughter's age (Iesha is 4). He has been such a blessing to me at work and after work. He and his wife have taken me to their church and to the local hot spot (the gym!). It has been so much fun going to all the basketball games in the town of Haina with them!
Also, I allow Fransisco (Cisco, i call him) to journey down the more difficult pathways before me, so that he might break my fall if i slip!
