„Akna taga sajab alla tume tsemendi- ja rusupilv, millele jargneb vali murin. Jarsku on koik kottpime, tunnen, kuidas mingi suur mass mind kusagile alla tuhimikku surub. „See ongi nuud lopp!” jouan moelda, kui jarsku murin vaibub ja minu kukkumine peatub.” Haiti – maa, mis seal veedetud aja jooksul naitas mulle oma erinevaid palgeid ning oleks mind napilt igaveseks endale jatnud. 12. jaanuaril 2010 toimus Port-au-Prince’is maavarin, mille kaigus hukkus arvatavalt 230 000 inimest. Neist 102 olid minu sobrad ja kolleegid UROst. Haiti – maa, kus algas minu uus elu. Tarmo Joeveer
