Port au Prince.

It is such a big city, it’s really not our favorite place. But, now that we have other LWI staff members living there, and they are always so sweet and welcoming, it’s not too bad to go for a visit. We all met together to do some training-our bosses were in town from the States. We had a great week together! It was so nice to get to know each other, brainstorm about some strategies and ideas about how to move forward, and we all had  some training to do. Jennifer and I trained on learning health and hygiene, and Brandon did some more training on the drill rig. I am a bit overwhelmed by how much information is out there on the topic of hygiene, but it was good to learn some ideas on how to implement such practices in communities. Just as much as people need clean water for good health, they need to be learning (if they don’t already know) and practicing good hygiene habits too. A lot of people get sick and even die from not just drinking dirty water-but also from not so stellar hygiene habits. I’ve got a lot to learn before I can train national staff, and we can go out into communities, but it was great to start taking some steps in the right direction! The ladies took a break from training one day to go and check on the boys. It was the first time I had ever seen a drill rig in action, and it was pretty cool! Here are some photos and I’ll do my best to explain what is going on…
