Trip to Haiti

Hey everyone - sorry for the long lapse in posts. We are building toward another trip to Haiti beginning September 12. It will be a short trip to visit a new FFP project site and discuss water needs. The project is in Anse a Veau, Haiti, which is in the boot portion of the country near Miragoane. A project description is included at the end of this post. The project is the Journey of Hope Village. There will be groups of houses each with their own water catchment. Every household will have at least 7- 8 people. In this village there will be around 200 people being served. FFP hopes to inaugurate the village January 2011 before the January 12 date of the earthquake that they suffered this year.

Schools will also be built and will need cisterns and larger type water systems. FFP has 4 schools that they hope to start building immediately one has 608 students, others 600, 480, and 600. This figure does not include the faculty of each school that will also have access to the water supply.

The cost of water systems is expected to be around $10,000. We are looking at what we can do to make this happen!
