Malikan Dominique, 51, plays with his dog outside a temporary but sturdier structure in Port-au-Prince that he received from an aid group. “I feel like I have been delivered,” said Dominique, a construction worker who had no means to rebuild his family’s home after the earthquake. “I am very grateful.” (Carolyn Cole / Los Angeles Times)
