Pétionville Club is an old golf club, and until six months ago it was the haven of Port-au-Prince's elite who would come for a round of golf and a meal. After the earthquake, it became the centre of the global response when 100,000 people who had lost their homes flocked to its open spaces to set up camp.
In the early days, it was a scene of unmitigated chaos and squalor. Dogs ran through the dust ducking around lost children and scavenging off the waste.
Today, although it is still home to many tens of thousands, some order has arrived.
Protecting children remains a priority after January's earthquake in Haiti. It is a very young country: four out of ten people here are under 14 years old. The quake disproportionately affected a child population that was already very vulnerable before the disaster.
Child protection staff working with Trócaire have worked with more than 2,000 children in three different displacement camps. Counselling has been set up to help children and give them back some normality in their lives.
"After an incident as traumatising as this earthquake, it is essential to offer safety, comfort and counselling to the children," said Helen Nic An Ri, of Trócaire, who worked on setting up the spaces.
Symptoms of childhood trauma can be acute stress, nightmares, emotional distress, behavioural disorders or attention deficits. It is vital to reconstruct a comfortable environment allowing children to find inner balance.
"Most of the time, it is difficult to get the children to talk directly about what they have gone through. When we first see them, they are shy and silent. Often, they will stand in the background," said Joseph. He is looking at the painting a young girl, Sabrienta, is about to finish. Very focused, she is drawing the outline of her house.
The programmes are very successful with the children and help them forget the terror of January 12 and the devastation that pervades all aspects of life here. As five-year-old Simona said, "I am here all day. It is much more fun than at home. Whenever I am at home, I have to do the cleaning!"
