Clean Water System Up and Running 08/02/2011
Bayonnais, Haiti - For the first time in history, the people of Bayonnais have safe, clean water to drink. The new water well and purification system for the Bayonnais community went into service on Saturday, July 30. A dedication ceremony, to be held in the next two weeks, will emphasize for the people of the community what it means to drink this clean water that is free from cholera and other disease organisms. “It may take a little encouragement, but in time they will come,” declares Tim Carson, whose vision and organization brought this dream from concept to reality. “I could almost bet that the Voodoo priest in this area will come too. His children already come to our school!”  Above left: Rosemond and Yvan Pierre and Tim Carson were among the first to taste the clean, pure water.
