front of a poster commemorating the inauguration of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide after
she and a procession of thousands arrived at the Our Lady of Perpetual Help chapel in the
Bel-Aire neighborhood of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, on Saturday, June 28, 2003. Our Lady of
Perpetual Help was named one of Haiti's patron saints after nine days of prayer to her was
credited with curing a smallpox epidemic in 1882. This year, the Catholic church called
for another nine days of prayer and reconsecration of the chapel in order to rid Haiti
what priests leading the march called a political and economic 'epidemic' which is
destroying the country. (AP Photo/Daniel Morel |

Prime Minister's office for her first official meeting just after being sworn in on
Saturday, June 28, 2003. Pierre was named to replace Jean-Robert Faveur who fled into
exile last Sunday, only 17 days after taking office, saying President Jean-Bertrand
Aristide and his government were preventing him from doing his job and that he feared for
his life. (AP Photo/Daniel Morel) |
