Haiti Friends Collection

A laundry day by the river in Haiti is a picturesque and communal activity, reflecting the simplicity and camaraderie of rural life. The sound of water splashing and rhythmic scrubbing fills the air as women work together, chatting and laughing.Children play nearby, sometimes helping with smaller tasks. As shown here, the river is a lively social hub, where news is exchanged, stories are told, and bonds are strengthened.
