Big Brother by cwbill

Big Brother

I took this shot during my last trip to Haiti. This is probably my favorite photo I have ever taken. The younger brother had severe physical ailments and the older brother really tried to take care of him. Haiti is a very difficult place to live with physical problems.
Great capture. That would really be tuff to be around and see that.

Such a touching scene and capture. Haiti is not a place for the faint hearted to visit as I realized when we were there many years ago. We took the next flight out and went to Turks and Caicos instead.

@dutchothotmailcom, if you look real close there is also a chicken standing in the open doorway to the right.

@ludwigsdiana, my wife has been there on medical missions 13 times. She took me 3 times after I retired from teaching. I had experiences there that you can only have in a place like that. It is very hard to describe when you get to know some of the people.

Fabulous! What were you doing in Haiti? My youngest daughter went there on two medical mission trips!

@thewatersphotos, my wife has been there 13 times over the years on medical missions. On this trip we were with a nun who lives there most of the year who is trying to set up a village structure so the Haitians can better manage the village. She is doing great work. I helped build things for the medical clinic and my wife oversaw some of the pharmacy things at the clinic.

@cwbill That is awesome. Any chance you work with the Van der Hengst family? They are from Tennessee and have a long standing mission in Haiti.

@thewatersphotos, we have not heard of that group. There are so many organizations who have done so much good down there.

An excellent view of life.

@summerfield, thank you very much. This is out of my comfort zone in photography. I was able to get several really personal photos on that trip, I just can't find some of them. It will be like Christmas when I find some of my files.
