I went to Labadee today just to check with the clinic and the water purification system.
Firstly I spoke with Meme Rosette, one of the two nurses working at the clinic.
She said to me there's one cuban Doctor there currently but she'll be leaving on 25 or 27 of February. She also said volunteers are more than welcome to assist the Labadee clinic, because the clinic's always full of people particularly now because they used to have two or three Cubans at a time.
With regards to the water purification system, I went to see the old building they used to use for communal access to treated water. It hasn't worked for over three years, the equipment is old and damaged. The system that was in place treated the water through uv rays, but the glass has been smashed.
Vwa Aiyti distributed water filters last year to the three schools and some of the most needy families in Labadee.
I didn't see the mayor of the village because his not in haiti right now.
