hosean  > Travel > Haiti Electrical Project 2006
Images of 2006 Minnesota Electrical linesmen trip to Pignon, Haiti to further establish the first electrical co-op. This project is being done by NRECA, the National Rural Electric Co-ops of American, in particular thier international foundation. The Pignon Co-op has received numerous gifts from all over the U.S. to provide 4 hours of electricity each evening. We are hoping to get more line up this week and allow 200 more homes to be connected.

hosean > Chartered flight with Carribintair touches down on Pignon's dirt airstrip.  It's a 25 minute flight from the capital city of Port au Prince but if taken by car would take at least 8 hours.

hosean > It's February, and I don't think we're in Minnesota anymore, Toto...
Current weather conditions are 80 degrees at 9:35 PM.
hosean > Sharing a laugh before the real work starts tomorrow...but they deserve it, flying from Minnesota to the tropics in one day is a challenge.
hosean > Hosean staff member, Kara Emerson, making the new linemen feel welcome at Camp de la Grace, outside of Pignon, Haiti.  Tomorrow the real work starts!
hosean > One of the first jobs Saturday morning was to try and get the bucket truck running again.  Notice the guys are still smiling and that there is alot of help available....Folks are glad they are here!
hosean > One exciting new addition to the co-op is this one, the town's public high school!  This pole will soon hold a street light adding security and light for students to study with at night!  Note the large group of students gathered to watch.
hosean > Still alot of work is just regular physical labor...but it's better done with everyone working together.  This is development in action...Locals and foreign help together.
