Haiti is known for it's beautiful, bright colors and iron work. The peace corps office had this sign made, right before the program was ended due to a political coup in the country in 2004.
On a long walk to the waterfall we found a very charming house, which we all remember many years later. No latrine or trees for shade. Rural Hinche Haiti.
This rural waterfall called Basin Zim was a local place to bathe, gather water and relax. As Volunteers, we would visit often. We swam and bathed there, too.
Out my second story window, you can see my latrine (orange door) and kitchen straight ahead and shower to the left. Some of the year, there was a water basin, but I treated the water with bleach because there was algae and mosquitoes.
I'm washing dishes here on my porch. I had the neighbor kids get water for me and I washed with a soap powder that I used for washing clothes, dishes and the house.
