Next Trip to Haiti... 10 Days and counting!

On August 1, a team of 13 volunteers from across the country will meet in Miami, Florida and fly together to Haiti for the next Solar Under The Sun Installations! Of the participants, most have been trained at the Solar Under the Sun Solar School AND Clean Water U, sponsored by Living Waters For The World.

The trip will be jammed packed with activity, as the team has a hefty goal of FOUR installations.

Site #1 is Father Desire's Church in Cheridant, Haiti. A solar powered clean water system will be installed here.

Site #2 is Father Michaud Fruitho's Episcopal Church in Trouin, Haiti. A solar powered clean water system will be installed here, also.

Site #3 is a newly built "volunteer quarters" in Cheridant, Haiti. This is an extraordinary building designed to house teams coming to the area for future installation and building projects. We will build a system to solar power the building. (See picture to the left.)

Site #4 is the home of Ancy Fils-Aime's mother near Cheridant, Haiti. This is a tentative project, as we await materials for the site, but we are hopeful to make this project a reality! This would be our first single-family home solar powered unit.

With a team of 13, we will divide and conquer, having a team at each of the sites, along with a team devoted solely for community hygiene education. We will depend heavily on our Haitian counterparts, Ancy Fils-Aime, Valdes Innocent, Salien Wilbur, Mannes, and others to oversee this project and train the operators of the newly built systems.

We ask that you join us in prayer for the participants, the future recipients and partners, and the success of the installations. Pictures will be forthcoming, and stories will be plentiful! We thank you for coming along with us for this exciting journey, and look forward to sharing with you what Solar Under The Sun is doing to "light up" our world!
