Electricity!

We have a team here now, putting up electric lines in Pignon so more people can be connected to the city power. The team is from Minnesota and they are some seriously hard workers. Our town has the first ever electic co-op in Haiti which gives power to a few hundred homes for about 5 hours in the evening. The team that is down here now is fixing the generators, checking the lines, and connecting more homes to the power. Can you imagine getting a light in your home for the first time ever?
What a (wierd) sign of advancement to see an electic line right beside these mud huts.


...who knows, maybe my house can get hooked up to electricity too!?! Posted by Picasa
