photos - various - part 2

The UN has been doing community work projects in several areas of the country. This project was to install lighting in the park.
This Haitian worker was installing the light and the solar panel to power it. Solar technology is great for Haiti. There are lots of sunny days here and solar power is a whole lot more reliable than the electric company power :)
There was also work being done on the median along Airport Rd. The dirt and grass was being used and sand/gravel being put down instead. You can see in the distance the white area where the sand has been laid. I think they are going to put down paving stones or cement instead. It makes the median a lot easier to maintain.
The Haitian government is proud that 903,000 children are attending schools this year for free. Pray that in the future all children in Haiti can have a free education.
Rudy was a young man who was in our yard after the earthquake. He had cancer and was airlifted to the U.S for cancer treatment. He survived and recovered and he looks cured. Only time will tell though. The family is very thankful for the help they received and in gratitude they came to the house the other day with a gift..... a duck. I couldn't refuse it because it wouldn't be the polite thing to do. Now the children have a new pet and my yard is turning into a barnyard :). The duck's name is Aflac, named after the duck in the insurance commercials on tv.
