Working in Gonaives

I'm setting off for Haiti again, with some trepidation - ten weeks since the earthquake, and right at the start of rainy season - to work in Gonaives, a dusty hot northern town that was the scene of terrible floods and mudslides in the hurricanes of 2008, more floods last year, and is in a badly deforested area. It's now also overrun by refugees from Port au Prince, some (thousands) of whom are being hired by the day to build terraces on the surrounding hills to control floodwater, provide flat agricultural land, and prevent mudslides - by the International Organisation on Migration, for whom I'll be a secretary/ publicity/ web person for a few weeks...
