Millions in Haiti remain displaced by the Jan. 12 earthquake, and little is being done by the government to help them. Small organizations are spending their money well in rubble removal, reconstruction, etc. etc., but the government is still unseen on the streets, for the most part.

What if your entire family lived in a tent? No car, no bathrooms, no furniture, no kitchen. Just everybody together in the same tent.

What would it be like to live in a tent city? What would you do to make ends meet without a job?

In a recent blog, I introduced you to Carl, an AIM staff member in Haiti who lost his house and everything he owned in the earthquake. Here he talks about how people manage life in a tent city. Imagine if you were his neighbor. How would you live your life?
