This is by far the most adorable video of a Haitian child that I took. Dadi isn't very talkative. Typically when he would start talking, I'd get out the video camera and then be too late. I think the food he's got there is deep-fried salted flour. Dadi is the son of Jeral, the community organizer who you can see in some of the other videos I've posted. For most of my time in Haiti, I stayed in this house with Jeral's family.
Translation:
Me: "does it taste good?"
Dadi: "yes"
Me: "say that again"
Dadi: "it tastes good" ... "it's not hot, it's cold"
Me: "it's cold?"
Dadi: "it's cold, it's not hot, it's cold"
The door on the left is the one for the little shed space where we wash hands, wash ourselves, and store water in a large plastic drum that reaches up about to my waist. The door on the right is the outhouse.
This is (from left to right) Yanick, Wenson, and Dadi, in the space between the outhouse and the back door of the house. This is the food preparation space. A goat has just been slaughtered for a child's first-communion feast. Wenson is cutting the meat into manageable pieces. Yanick is cleaning out the intestines. Dadi is sitting around looking adorable as usual.
