Suddenly last summer

Some illustrations of the work in Haiti, summer 2014.
The water project - finished! Solar powered pumps get the water up from 500 feet down and closer to settlements.  Here, Samwel shows California how to do it.  Note he has shampooed his har - and now he gets water one ti godet ala fwa --- one cup at a time! - to rinse... 

 Dads and daughters learn to read.

Ti Gideon, called Djonny...Born at the start of Gaza conflict and named for the first fallen Israeli soldier.

 Fresh pounded grounds!

 Me? I'm taking it easy perched on our reservoir.


Measure for measure.  Learning.

 Marie-Anje and Martina Gabrielle get it done.

 Astounding, for Minooche and her audience.

 The Dads get into the game too.

Measure for measure

Putting school lessons to use!
