I will be picking up my Hydromissions teammates in about twenty minutes and heading off the grid for the drilling project in the mountains! Keep up the prayers! You’ll hear from me again on the 18th or 19th of Feb!
Hard work and long nights paid off! We presented to a group tonight that consisted of Grace staff, village leaders and a representative from the Mayor’s office. After we presented the master plan, the Mayor’s representative stood up and commended us for putting together a residential site where Haitians would be comfortable. He said that … More One down, one to go!
Who would have thought that nearly every conversation my teammates and I have had during these past couple days, would be about toilet design? I am not just talking about a passing comment – no, we’ve spent hours trying to figure out the waste water design for the Lambi 2 Project we are working on…hours! … More Is your toilet sexy?
I am a am overly light-packer when it comes to packing for my project trips. I went as far as leaving a 12″ ruler and a small bag of crackers at my friends house last night because I wanted to bring only the necessities … which is why the series of events over this past … More Packing a Parka?!
I am a little concerned about getting caught up on rocks as we drill in the mountain village of Marbial. This is a percussion drill bit the students at Rowan University designed to help me beat up those rocks! Thank you Rowan University Engineers & Innovators without Borders!
Happy New Year Everyone! I really appreciate all who check out my blog and post comments. I hope you all have a snazzy 2013! The plans are still somewhat tentative but it looks like I will be spending the first 3 weeks of February in Haiti. What better way to bring in a new year … More Haiti, here I come!
These are the teammates who didn’t give up – these guys were amazing!
Using an extension rod from our drilling unit and a tennis ball, we take a break in the late afternoon for some good ‘ol baseball
The guys we worked with were great! Our days were long (10-12 hours) and the work was extremely difficult but they kept it fun and joyful
This is a typical house in Ferrier – the village where our project was located
