New Urban Village Going Up

ShelterBox is setting up an urban "village" near the US Embasssy of 1000 tents. The people who move into this camp will thus be able to continue their lives in the city without having to move out to an urban area.

You can see a great video clip of the village at Henfrasa Stadium,Delmas, Port au Prince at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqQpMZUoirA. You will notice it is a far cry from the ramshackle camps you have seen on TV. You can even see children smiling!
