The Haitian Shaved Ice King

My profile of Dieu Ve Pierre, a man with the invaluable skill of making people laugh in the wake of a tragedy. He sells cups of flavored ice out of a wooden boat in Port-au-Prince, and he just happens to be one of the wackiest yet most inspiring characters I’ve ever been privileged to meet. Listen above. And don’t miss the photos of his boat and the tee-pee he lives in. Also, my World Vision Report blog entry is here.
