Decorations were still up from a party celebrating last month's start of classes at this small school in the Etienne 2 camp, Tabarre.

Susana Ferreira was part of an IRC team assessing damage a day after Hurricane Tomas battered parts of Haiti still struggling to recover from January's earthquake. She took these photos in three of the camps the team visited in Port-au-Prince.
