In this Jan. 20, 2013 photo, professional dancer Georges Exantus, right, performs with Modeline Gene Arhan during a show in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Exantus thought he’d never dance again. The earthquake three years ago in Haiti’s capital flattened the apartment where he was living where he spent three days trapped under a heap of jagged rubble. After friends dug him out, doctors amputated his right leg just below the knee. Three years later, the 32-year-old professional dancer is back on the floor, spinning away as he does the salsa, cha-cha and samba. A prosthetic leg doesn’t hold him back.

In this Tuesday, Dec. 4, 2012, a man returns empty-handed after early morning crabbing in a body of water near the Cite Soleil slum, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Many of the shanty town residents rely on the bounty of the sea, hoping to sell what they catch at local fish markets. Haitians suffered widespread hunger following an unusually active storm season this year and are likely to experience more, according to a study released Friday, Dec. 7, 2012. Nearly 70 percent of the more than 1,000 households interviewed said they experienced moderate or severe hunger, the study found. (AP Photo/Dieu Nalio Chery)
