Today we're returning to the office after Carnivale. Everything seems to be in the same place, regardless of activity that flooded Port-au-Prince the past few days. This month we've got teams heading back to schools, driving out to rural villages with GPS mappers, and returning to Villa Rosa for the next phase of collaborative planning & redevelopment.
