The great American novelist and activist, James Baldwin, once said that we must look unblinkingly at the circumstances, confront the constructed reality, face the tears of the wounded, and harness ourselves to a great collective effort toward justice.

During the month of October, our team in Haiti has been making a lot of progress on helping populations that have been struck by hurricanes Gustav, Hanna, and Ike. We have installed a large chlorinator in Arcahaie, a town located on the Western coast about 20 miles above Port-au-Prince. This chlorinator provides clean water for the 100,000 inhabitants. In collaboration with CAMEP, the entity in charge of water supply in the Metropolitan area of Port-au-Prince, three more chlorinators have been set up on water tanks in Delmas 65 and Foyeau-ville, two neighborhoods of the capital.
