My overall opinion of the Estero Island Cottage and Matanzas
Pass is pretty positive. Anything that gets people outside, walking, and
thinking about their environments is a great thing. The natural Southwest Florida
beauty was all surrounding. I came across a few older couples enjoying the
outdoors and getting in their exercise during this field trip. Exercise,
togetherness, and environmental education are examples of how the quality of
life in that area is being enhanced.
In regards to the hometown question, I was born in Haiti and
grew up in a very rough neighborhood. I haven’t been back there since I left
but I imagine it has changed a great deal since the earthquake. Honestly I wish
a developer was interested in that area, or any area of Haiti for that matter.
The people and the land could use a complete overhaul. It would be a great
community if a true form of government could get in and redo everything. The
values that I was taught as a young boy make me a different man than many I
have seen here. The values that my sisters were taught are very different than
many women I see here. The basic life foundations in Haiti are very strong and
positive, but everything else crumbles around it.
