We just said good-bye to a team of very special people from Southminster Presbyterian Church which is located in DesMoines, WA near Seattle. One of their projects was building 5 latrines for families in the batey we call Altagracia. The work ethic and perseverance of our new friends from Southminister was amazing; a testimony of God's love and power to the people of Altagracia. They worked in the rain and in sweltering heat to complete the project.
The latrine was a simple structure, with metal siding as you can see from the photos. The floor made of cement makes it much more sanitary and easy to clean for the family. One of the families that received a latrine in their backyard was so happy and blessed that I had to snap their picture.
The ladies on the team taught basic hygiene principles to the women and children with songs and games. I will post pictures of their excellent work next time.
