On Sunday morning, we celebrated the dedication of the water systems at both sites. In Les Cayes, Rick, Chris and I attended worship at the Baptiste Church where we were treated as honored guests and invited to address the congregation. Both celebrations were joyous occasions with plenty of community participation. Rick spoke at the site in Les Cayes, Darenda spoke for Bower Hill at the orphanage. Most of our health/hygiene class participants as well as operator trainees showed up to receive their certificates at both sites. Then folks turned the attention to receiving their water. It was broiling hot, so toasting the water was highly appreciated - and many requested seconds!
I only have some pictures of the Les Cayes celebration - we spilt up with some team members attending one celebration and some attending the other since both were held at 9:30 am. I will post more photos later when I have access to those taken by other team members.
