June 13 – Kitchen and Drinking water

We have a kitchen inside the school! Since the beginning of the school year we have been addressing the challenges of cooking in a small warehouse away from the school and transporting water and food to and from the warehouse. Today was the first day of preparing the daily lunch in our new school kitchen which we cleaned up and painted last week. The kitchen building and joining water tower were donated by JDC and Latet.

Even more important – we finally have drinking water in the school! This is a rare occurrence in Haiti in which clean drinking water is still not available to a large part of the population. We have a new water filtration system which should provide the kitchen and all the children of the school with thirst quenching and clean drinking water. This is a good opportunity to thank Yele Haiti for providing us with drinking water until we were able to reach our water independence.
