In the UN convoy, the Brazilian players in the streets of Port-au-Prince: ephifany
In the last thirty years we saw something worst, in death toll, than the cyclopic earthquake in Haiti: the tsunami in the Pacific Ocean, 2004. That's all.
The estimated death toll - about one hundred thousand people feared dead - provides a notion of what happened. Before the catastrophe the country already had the worst social and economic figures of the Americas. After it, dives in an incertain future.

It's good, by any means, to remember an occasion when hope was predominant. In august 18th, 2004, the Brazilian Team was host by the Haitian squad, in Port-au-Prince. The score, 0x6 for Brazil, was taken less in history than the reception the Brazilian players had in the streets of the capital, in the UN convoy that carried them to the Sylvio Cator Stadium. It looked like Haiti was here. Haiti isn't here.
