Rubble Removal in Haiti

Rubble Removal and Debris Management remains a huge challenge in Haiti. Of course also the Little Peacekeeper is doing his share, you can see him work on the picture. With his little helmet he is sweating in the heat and the rock is quite big for him. UNDP is also working in Haiti http://www.undp.org/haiti/ and has designed a Debris Management Programme http://www.undp.org/haiti/doc/CN_2_DebrisMgmt-E-s.pdf if you want to know more

In Haiti now

The Little Peacekeeper is in Haiti now. You must have heard about the catastrophic earthquake in Haiti in January. Now the cameras (and with them the global attention) are largely gone but the people are still affected. OCHA has an overview over the Haiti Earthquake six months later (http://ochaonline.un.org/OCHAHome/WhereWeWork/Haiti/tabid/6412/language/en-US/Default.aspx)

So long Solomon Islands

The Little Peacekeeper is looking over a little valley here. You can see some small fields and a newly built, not quite yet finished stable. The community in this little valley has been affected by flash flooding and is moving towards the hills to be better protected in the future. The Little Peacekeeper is now moving on to the next place in his journey. He will be visiting Haiti.

RAMSI

As you know the Little Peacekeeper is in the Solomon Islands. In Solomon Islands the Little Peacekeeper saw the RAMSI Peacekeepers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_Assistance_Mission_to_the_Solomon_Isl ands). You can see him with some RAMSI ships in the back.

And now the cocoa beans…

On the last picture you saw the Little Peacekeeper on a cocoa pod. The inside of the pod is a white bean which is processed and dried to look like the bean the Little Peacekeeper is holding on the picture now. It is quite big for the Little Peacekeeper if you think about it, isn’t it?

Cocoa pod

The Little Peacekeeper has been travelling further westwards. In the small country he is now there is a bit of cocoa production. You can see him resting on a cocoa pod. He surely deserves the rest after the long journey.
