Potable Water Project




While Paige and I were down in Haiti we took some water samples and talked to some locals to see if there was interest in having individual water filters for each household. We found that the water was not up to standards and that the interest was there.
We are now taking the steps necessary to be able to start implementing a system in Les Cayes so that for a minimal cost each family can have good drinking water every day, without the need for electricity or even solar power.
Here are
some pictures taken by Wilson Jeanty of the places we visited to test the water.

Visiting new places







Yesterday we were able to go around Les Cayes and take some water samples for a possible future project. We got to see lots of new places in Cayes and of course meet new people. Here are a few of the pictures from our trip. More to come later about this project!

In Haiti and well!


We successfully made it into Port Au Prince and the drive through the country confirmed that it is our job to educate and help the youth rise above the suffering that's been handed to them. We have a busy week ahead of us meeting with organizations and taking pictures. We are continuously planning and working towards accomplishing our goals for EDUplus. We will do our best to keep you updated when we have more news.
