I'm getting ready to leave for Borgne, or what is commonly called O'Boy here in Haiti. I'm going with Kevin and Sarah the founders and Gabby, the other intern. We won't have power or running water so I'll be showering with a kivet (bucket) and a cup tonight
I'll be writing about my experience there as soon as I get back. We did a lot of test Arboloos for the children at the beach communities there. An Arboloo is basically a hole in the ground with a base with a hole in it on top. It's a toilet for the young children so they can s while going to the bathroom. After the hole is filled the base is picked up and moved onto another newly dug hole, but, what happens to the old, filled hole? We plant a tree in it! And they grow bigger, better, and stronger than one would without all those nutrients to grow from.
