Some Details

First, please take the opportunity to check out Jan´s blog. She shares some information about our connections to Hato Mayor. She also shares a poignant glimpse into the vision of an incredible man, Pedrito.



Here is the link.



A Dream in Hato Mayor

So what is it like here in Hato Mayor.

There is running water, but it is not potable. Everyone has to get jugs of water for drinking. Sure, our water in Bremen isn´t the greatest (right, Trent), but it is drinkable if necessary. The water here will make people sick.

The sewage system is quite poor here. We have to put the toilet paper in a trash basket. This is certainly a bit of an inconvenience.

There are rolling black-outs. In Hato Mayor, we lose electricity for hours at a time every day.

The infrastructure is horrible. In Bremen, we have pot-holes. Here, the entire road is one pot-hole.

As Americans, we take a lot for granted.

Take care!

Todd
