| Without a complete mortar-and-pestle... |
 |
| ...My neighbor, Madam Margo, gets by. She'll come up with some fine grained salt for us, one way or another |
 |
| And, up the road a bit, at Dekles' home, a corn cob substitutes for a the robinette that the family cannot yet afford for their dwoum. |
 |
They could not (yet) find wood to build a platform to raise the dwoum. Families who built a platform, and a rain gutterm and could cover the cost (300 goudes) of a robinette,
were given a dwoum by our non-profit, www.ifpigscouldflyhaiti. The Dekles family had received a small dwoum last summer, and hoped to improve on it. The drilled hole was, literally, a small start. And problematic.
Below, the simple solution to water storage...Not as sexy as pumping with solar power, but then...The faucet is damn handy! Note the fancy tin rain drain here at Project Base. This was truly life-changing, as I can personally testify. Hand-washing, doing dishes, bits of laundry...even, when plentiful, some water for nurturing seedlings.
