Finishing up the work, then some recreation

Saturday found Betsy and me teaching our last class while the installation team participated in training the operators to run the systems. All the operators trained at both sites.

Betsy and I were pleased that our new young friend, Jackson Coudo, will be one of the operators for Frantzou's system. Jackson is studying agro-forestry at the American University of the Carribean. He was not originally involved at all, but became so because we held our classses at his aunt's house. His English is pretty good and he wanted to be more involved in what we're doing so we suggested he  talk to Frantzou. He did, and now he'll be an operator!

When all the work for the week was done, we took the opportunity for some recreation with our Haitian teammates - we all drove to Port Salud where there's a beautiful beach to hunt for shells, enjoy the scenery, wade in the warm water and watch a beautiful sunset. We were serenaded by a steel drum band while we enjoyed a delicious dinner on the beach. What a lovely end to a rather frenetic week!

Today we'll celebrate the installation of water purification systems at both sites. Praise God! He is good, all the time!

Photos are more difficult to post. I'll try to get caught up with them as I am able.
