Clean Water in Cherette

A well has been dug in Cherette.  It will give them fresh, clean water in abundant supply.  And its thanks to a generous gift from their Sister Church, Estero UMC in Estero, Florida.

Building a well in Haiti is a lot like building a well in the US. 

You need a well drilling rig

a space big enough to situate the truck

lots of man power 

and electricity.

Here’s what digging a well looks like in Cherette, Haiti.

And here is what it looks like when it’s finished.

More pics from the project can be viewed on RMI’s Picasa Web Album, here.
