“For the past three years, life at Cité Soleil has been like a poker game most of the time. People go out and don’t know if they will be able to go back home. They regularly risk their lives to get the daily bread for their families,” said Father David, who has lived in Brooklyn, one of the areas in Cité Soleil heavily affected by armed violence, for years.
He has seen it all. “I’ve witnessed many gunshot wounds during recent clashes,” he said. “In fact, people from the community bring many of the wounded to my home, so that I help evacuate them. I’ve seen a lot of people die in the dispensary from bullets to the head.”
