Monday, we had a tour of the MH4H campus. We started by joining the staff’s weekly bible study. They take turns leading devotionals, and we were blessed by the message the pastor gave on Romans 12:2. After the devotional, we each carried a bucket of water around the campus to get the feel for what the people of Haiti have to do each day as they carry water from the well to their homes. It was a difficult job. The average Haitian uses about 10 gallons of water a day which means lots of trips. Just for comparison, the average American uses 120 gallons a day. I can’t even begin to imagine that many trips.
