A Fool In Haiti

I have started the process of sorting out photos taken in Haiti.

The pics in this first album are various street scenes taken in different locations across the country. Hopefully this album portrays some of the wonderful diversity of the experiences I had, from joy through wonder and sadness at the devastation…

Hello all,

I’m now back in England after just under a month in Haiti. It was a very intense whirlwind of an experience. I didn’t have much Internet access out there but took several hundred photos and interviewed a number of people from schools, churches, peristyles (vodou temples) and others. Over the coming week or so, I’ll get all of these up online and do my best to share my experiences.

Once again, thank you to all who contributed money, energy, prayers and bandwidth. I’ll update the sponsors page shortly.

My work in Haiti is not finished and I know I’ll be back there before the year is out – and have made several contacts there who are encouraging me to bring more people. Watch this space for details.

Lots of love,

Seani Fool

Still in cayes-jacmel. Taken Outside the “other peristyle”.

the bull is not at all shy of showing his tackle

as well as working vodou and feeding people, i’m spending a lot of time entertaining the hougan’s grand kids!

Hello all! I’m now in in Cayes-jacmel staying at Temp Chango Chawa, the peristyle & south-east headquarters for the Federasyon National Vodouisan Ayisyen run by Ati Jean Andvenor Lundy. An amazing place and a wonder to be here. Local vodouisants keep turning up looking for food, money, gossip and to meet the 2 blancs.


This is Ati Jean Andvenor Lundy





Mr Lundy uses his motorcycle to visit the 150 peristyles in his jurisdiction – many of which have been damaged or destroyed and many are now without food. I am blessed to be staying in his home – his peristyle – a temple to Chango the Orisha and I send his request for help out to the world. Help can be sent to me in the first instance via my paypal account above.

Mr Lundy needs his motor cycle repaired ASAP and sends a request out to the mystics AND other concerned citizens of the world to aid him in raising the money – $US300 for the repairs.

If you speak Kreyol and are reading this, please call him on +50937522628. I’ll post up th details of the bank account for the Federaysyon shortly and money can be sent directly to it once that is organised…

This is his personal plea and I can personally vouch for the necessity and urgency of the situation here. All the money I’m receiving is going to great sources and really worth while people. I have full documentation of everything but not the resources here to upload every pic and vid I take. I hope to be able to soon.

I’m having fun, meeting some amazing people, having my eyes opened to new and strange and beautiful and powerful things and doing all I can do to help. Mambo Paula is well but still internet-shy. Thanks for reading! I’ll post again soon….

Love, Sean

Hello – time is short for giving news and I’m being picked up in 10 minutes. Just wanted to say all is going well here in Haiti. We’ve left Auban to go and stay in Cayes Jacmel for a week and I’m immersed in peristyle vodou (rather than family vodou)… I’m meeting some wonderful people here. Actually, I’m meeting a lot of people… loads of hungry people come into the peristyle having learnt there are ‘blancs’ staying there and I’m taking their stories of forced conversions, food deprivation and some real horrors and I’m interviewing people… Often with an interpreter… I hope to get the videos up soon.

It’s half Carribean island paradise and half land of destitution. I’m feeling good about the little I can do but wish I was better equipped to get the stories people are telling me out just a little quicker…

that’s all for now.. i’ll try to upload a pic if possible…

hugs to all! love from Seani Fool

This is Papouche. One of LaBien’s adopted kids is always drawing birds and flowers
. I took loads of photos of his art but current bandwidth costs restricts me to s single upload at this time. He will probably be taken in to the Danthor Foundation Orphanage once it is ready
