Tuesday was pretty much a repeat of Monday in that we successfully delivered a solar power system, water purifier, computers, and teaching material (posters, flash cards, etc.). These are items that we
have seldom seen in the classrooms we have visited. Note that in this classroom, the walls are canvas held up by tree limbs, the desks are just wooden boards put together to hold 3-4 kids per bench, and the teaches desk may or may not exist. There is nothing on the walls to make this attractive to learning. And, this class is just one of 4 that are side-by-side without even partitions between the classes!

Before leaving, Steve, Zac, and doug enjoyed a local delicacy – fresh sugar cane, cut to size by a machete! Very good, but lots of fiber to not swallow.
We returned to Thomas and in a matter of an hour or so, finished up the third system (which will be delivered to some as yet to be selected school), tested it out, and declared success, with the exception of a couple of parts that we needed to get on Wednesday in Port A Prince.
