Mother and child: Life continues in Port-au-Prince, Haiti

With the earthquake anniversary having come and gone in Haiti, there are some days when we forget that life is continuing for residents there, even those without a safe and secure place to live. This is a lovely image from Rodrigo Abd of a mother and child in a slum of Haiti that's known for being a dangerous place for residents and visitors alike.

To see a recent project on the growing number of children in this area that are unfortunately being born of sexual violence, watch this powerful video from photographer Nadav Neuhaus.
