    I live in a Tent City - Haiti

    By ChrisMorrow  |  Posted February 4, 2010  |  Petionville, Haiti
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     ChrisMorrow recently returned from Sean Penn's camp in Haiti.
    - hhanks, CNN iReport producer

    Petionville's manicured golf course, once a favorite haunt of Haiti's elite, is now a massive tent city where 75,000+ and growing left homeless by a devastating earthquake have taken refuge.

     

    These gently rolling hills once a playground to Port-au-Prince's most privileged, is now home to its most desperate, after the 82 Airborne set up one of the largest camps for survivors from the January 12 quake. The golf course was relatively unscathed, making it a perfect place for shelter.
