IA Staff Travel to Haiti in Spite of Political Unrest

April 22 was a huge day for Haitian water projects. A workshop was held in order to review the progress of the Clean Water Campaign and look at the work ahead of us. Dozens of representatives from all major towns and local NGO's were in attendance, including members from our International Action Washington D.C. staff, Lindsay Mattison and Youngmin Chang. Other groups included Rotary International and Pure Water for the World, and several radio stations such as Radio Caraïbes and the television station Télé 11.

Many installations have taken place this month. 3 chlorinators were installed, two in Gros Morne Gonaives and one in Verrettes. Richard Allen Hospital in central Port-au-Prince received a chlorinator through the aid of AME-SADA. CAMEP was also instrumental in the water campaign, sponsoring 3 chlorinators in Duvivier, granting clean water to 3,500 people.
