Description :
The violence may have abated in Haiti's biggest shanty town, the sprawling seaside slum known as Cite Soleil, but poverty refuses to go away. Most people live on less than a dollar a day and struggle to pay for food and water. Many have no option but to eat the mud cakes mixed with butter and salt to keep their hunger pangs away.
