Chapter 3

In most of chapter three in "Mountains Beyond Mountains" Kidder describes some of the extreme poverty that Haitian people suffer; he describes how a lot of people sleep in the ground becase they do not have a bed nor a house, how they are poorly dressed, how they do not have anything to eat, how their villages look so bad, how they have to travel by donkey and some of the serious injuries they have. The saddest part that Kidder describes is that the majority of the serious and fatal injuries they have are mainly caused becase minor things got unattended leading to infections and all those horrible diseases; this is really sad because it means that if they had the proper equipment and the sufficient hospitals as well as help most of these things would be prevented unfortunately, as the book says, the few hospitals that exists are not well equipped and the doctors are incapable of performing their services properly.
