Hundreds of vendors are struggling to recover from a market fire that devoured more than 300 stalls in the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince on Friday, May 30, 2008.
South of Port-au-Prince, the southern peninsula comprises many beautiful cities. One of them, Jacmel is the capital of the South-East Department. Its name derives from an Indian word “Yaquimel” which means ´rich land. Considered a cultural capital of Haiti, it is a quiet but very charming city situated on Horseshoe Bay.
