Haiti in March: Day 2-6
After arriving safely in St. Louis du Nord we spent the next few days taking full advantage of our time in Haiti with full-day community workshops, site visits, measuring topography, and completing a pilot project. While we spent most of our time in Bonneau we did make a short site visit to the Far West, a region in Haiti that happened to have more in common with KDI’s California home base then just name.
