photos - various - part 6

Street cleanup around the city is continuing. Progress is slow but it is good to see efforts being made. The guy in front is an american engineer for a sub-contractor who has a contract to clean up public spaces. They were doing some clean up work on Delmas 19.

Later in the afternoon a cleanup crew was on the mayors road between Delmas 31 and Delmas 33. Access was roped off to pedestrian and vehicle traffic. It is funny to see "Do Not Push" on the back of this dump truck. I wonder how you would push a dump truck? You would have to be very strong to do that task I think!

American military provided security for the subcontractors and to make sure that nobody crossed the roped off area! The sub-contractor was using "mini-loaders".

USAID street workers from the mayors office were demolishing a house in the Delmas 33 area. The house number is 13, an "unlucky number" for those who are superstitious.

They are completing cleaning out the property. The rebar gets recycled at the scrap yard. Pray for the rebuilding process. It is going to be a long process.
