We had a busy week here in Leogane. We broke ground on Monday with our crew of twenty workers. It's great to see them so excited to have a job. We hope that they will learn a skill while working with us that will open doors for them in the future.
This is what happens to the tents and tarps after the rain that comes almost every day here.
Fortunately the Spanish (Proyecto Solidario) should be done with the temporary shelter for the children in less than a week!
We've been doing a lot of road work this week so that the dump trucks can make it in with the gravel and rocks that we'll need to finish our foundation.
Proyecto Solidario is now providing with the children with three square meals a day. The kids were only getting one meal a day when I first met them six weeks ago.
These kids are in line to wash their hands before eating. Sustain Haiti came up with a cool little hand washing station made out of a five gallon bucket, a nail, and a piece of soap in a nylon.
We marked off where the foundation trenches go with string to guide our work.
Lunch time. I really like the food here in Haiti. Lots of rice and beans with fried plantains and meat and a spicy cold slaw that they call "picklis"
There are a lot more tents here now than when we first started, but they get shredded fast. The kids get soaked when it rains, the floor is always wet below them.
Here's our shade canopy that we made for the workers to take breaks and eat lunch.
Our workers going at it.
