Water, water everywhere

We went back to the filtration facility today and worked a little more today. On our break I went up to the third floor and discovered I could see out over a heavily polluted stream in a concrete canal. Six little boys went down to the water with jugs we assumed they were going to fill with water. We were wrong. They stripped and played in the water and sat on the jugs to run down the current. There was all matter of trash including a dead animal we assumed was a dog.

I was pleased to have a conversation shortly thereafter with Roman -- the facility manager. He told us that education on hygiene was one of the main goals for Haiti.

More later -- we are off to find Rum Raisin Ice Cream.
