Today we went out to see a house project that is being worked on by Haitians. We have funded the materials and the workers, so we wanted to go check things out!
The first thing we pass on our way was a butchered cow!
Not exactly up to FDA standards, but, you know...
Inside the house, one of the Haitian workers stuccos the inside walls of the first room...
Part of the unfinished second room.
Here are their main tools: a hammer and trowel!
They mix cement with this sand to make their stucco mixture, then slap it onto the walls.
Part of the family- the little guy is the lady's son, and the bigger boy is a friend.
The house from the outside.
Believe it or not, this is a pigpen :)
On our way back we met up with these young guys;
they were hauling stones from the riverbed to another house which is being built nearby.
Could you imagine walking up a mountain and rough terrain with large stones on your head??
Down in the riverbed we met this kindly man, who was digging up sand.
This breathtaking view greeted us once we rounded the last bend in the river...
