Jacmel, Haiti
Friday, August 2, 2013
Water, I think about it all the time. What are we going to do when there is no more clean water on this earth? The water situation seems a little better in Haiti than in other poverty countries I have visited. It seems as if people do not have to walk as far to get clean water. I think a lot of effort went in to make water available to people after the earthquake. Water stations can be found at random spots around the city. Mostly women fetch the water, five gallons at a time. They carry water buckets on their heads and make their way through these rough, hilly streets with an ease that amazes me.
