Conversation with Haitian

One of the interpreters is a very outgoing guy, 22 years old, and apparently a huge Jason Bay fan (or he stole a jersey from another fan). We got to talking last night. A pretty amazing conversation.
His mom died when he was 8, his dad died when he was 13, and he's been an orphan since. He's managed to be lucky and adaptive enough to make his way through school.

When the earthquake struck this year, he lost his home, and now lives with a friend 60 km away from the hospital, which he takes 2 cabs to everyday. He plans to take his entrance exams to become a doctor later this year.

He was very inspiring and charismatic and we talked for a while about his family, growing up an orphan, the earthquake, and more.

Then he asked me if I'd buy him a computer. And he asked to give me his phone number, and told me that one only needs to know another persons phone number to wire money from say, New York, to say, Haiti.

Hmmmmm.
