Many people have asked if we are near the area where the cholera has broken out. The cholera outbreak is in the Artibonite region which is closer to Saint Marc. Saint Marc is North of Port au Prince and on the other side of the horseshoe from us. Our water is from a well and is filtered. All our dishes our washed with soap and water then bathed in bleach and water. From what we know the area where the cholera cases are is part of some huge tent cities where sanitation is not very good. The amount of garbage everywhere is quite amazing. People just use it then through it out. Cholera is a bacteria similar to typhoid that comes from contaminated water that likely has feces in it.
I have uploaded some photos , sorry for the doubles but our internet is hit and miss. I will try to upload more over the next few weeks.
Bye for now. Charles.
