On Monday we went up Goat Mountain (Morne Cabrit) to go to Mirebalais with 5 children who will be getting plastic surgery this week. The mountain road is under construction. This is the finished part of the road.
In the past there have been accidents on this road mainly because it is narrow. To make a better road means digging away at the mountain. Lots of equipment is being used on this mountain. The European Economic Community is sponsoring this project.
Here is one of the views from the top of Goat Mountain. Deforestation is a big problem in Haiti. Not many trees on these mountains!
The part of the road that hasn't been asphalted is very dusty at this time of year. Here is a funny looking tree and kids walking through the dust.
The guy on the left is Bernard from Angel Missions. Lukner is with Coram Deo. We both work at finding medical care for kids. We took a break by a "sous" (watering hole). We left the children and their parents at the World Food Program office in Mirebalais. The hospital sponsoring the surgeries picked the children up from there. It was a nice trip to get away from Port-au-Prince for the day!
