"As I’ve gotten older I’ve become more open. You stop judging yourself and you stop judging others. And it
doesn’t matter anymore if anybody likes you."
Actor Sean Penn and actress Maria Bello met with UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in Haiti on Sunday.
The 49-year-old actor came to Haiti about a week after the quake and his blue-shirted workers with the newly formed Jenkins-Penn Haiti Relief Organization provide medical care, water filters and food.
“I think this is a very complicated situation here, and there are so many voices and so many vested interests, when it comes to aid, that it is very difficult to brake through the red tape of it,” Sean Penn said.
Behind the tents is a country club that became the base of the US Army 82nd Airborne in the days after the disaster.
Thousands of families came from their broken homes in the hills above to be near food and water distributions overseen by the US soldiers.
Those distributions, like those run by the UN World Food Program and others, were largely a success – though many were marred by small-scale violence and corruption by local officials.
The camp has been a hub of NGO activity, with schools, medical clinics and social programs setting up under canvas tents.
But with no electricity or security, the camps are also dangerous at night, especially for women and girls increasingly at risk of sexual assault.
The valley is at major risk for floods and landslides when the rainy season starts in earnest next week.
And only half of Haiti’s quake homeless have received even plastic sheets to protect them from deluges.
