Hearts of Haiti- Ke de Haiti

This blog is a convenient way to keep you updated on the progress of Hearts of Haiti's projects. Our current focus is at "L'Orfelinat L'Enfant de L'Espoir" (O.E.E.)- a group of orphans that we found living in tents near Leogane, Haiti last June. We are now building a school called "L'Espoir de Haiti" for the children at the orphanage and the neighboring tent city.

The First Bags

We filled our first earthbags to test the soil to find the optimal combination of sand and clay. There is a lot of clay in the soil, which means that we have to bring sand in from the riverbed nearby.
