DR Water and Sanitation Project - Day 4 - 2/4/15

Another fabulous day in the DR!  Today we finished our part of the latrine project!  We finished all the painting, the flooring and the "toilet".  The only thing left for tomorrow is the hanging of the doors, which will be done by other members of our group.  Before we had to say goodbye to our friends at Batey 105 we left a suitcase filled with enought undies for all the children, school supplies, soccer balls, clothing and other games, all donated by our friends, Rotarians and community members!  To say they were thrilled was an understatement!  

 

After lunch we went to see our completed latrine from last year and the new duplex they are building on Batey 106.   The duplex that they are building is for the elder members of the Batey.  This is a new movement that is taking place on the Batey - a way to care for their elders! Fills my heart with glee...

When we were finished we brought some of Lucy's Flip Flops for Friends Flip flops to Batey 80 and Batey Palo Blanco.  While at both Bateys we visited the schools and were able to give 75 children brand new flip flops!  They were all so excited!

 

Tomorrow we are off to the orphanages  more schools and women's clinic!
