In this July 20, 2012 photo, professional dancer Georges Exantus washes at home as he prepares for his wedding in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Exantus thought he’d never dance again. He was lucky just to be alive. The earthquake three years ago in Haiti’s capital flattened the apartment where he was living. 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.Dieu Nalio Chery/The Associated Press
