Clean water will soon become a luxury for our family!
I have linked
some interesting articles about the cholera epidemic in Haiti. Sadly, it seems
to have been brought to the island by UN workers from Nepal. Over 7,000 people
have died from the severe dehydration that happens quickly with this
disease.
We are working
on partnerships with Asaiah from the Clearly Filtered Company, and possibly
with the Water for Life Company in order to bring long lasting, cholera
resistant filters for ourselves and for the children at the Good Rest Orphanage.
I am learning
all I can about boiling water, water storage, chlorine, and different methods
of filtration. It is hard to believe that soon we will not be able to turn a
faucet handle and have water that is safe to drink. Any advice for us?
