Cholera

Some people have expressed concern over the cholera outbreak and asked how it is affecting the kids at the orphanage. The staff and children at O.E.E. have been trained on cholera prevention and what to do if symptoms occur. The children are washing their hands with water pumped from the recently repaired well and are only drinking bottled water brought in from a safe source. The cooks are using bleach to wash the fresh fruits and vegetables. The children and staff at O.E.E. are very fortunate to have access to these resources. Since the school (L' Espoir d' Haiti) enrolls children from the surrounding community, cholera could very easily be introduced to the orphanage and the children and staff follow prevention guidelines very strictly. So this Thanksgiving, let's be thankful for clean water!
