Utilitarian Needs
We take so much for granted when it comes to power and water. In Bayonnais, power comes from the sun and water must be chlorinated before drinking. Solar charged batteries do not last all night and water comes from springs up the mountain and flows through concrete troughs, used for any and all purposes. The internet is spotty at best. The only internet supplier in Haiti broadcasts from a tower on the other side of Bayonnais. Utilities are valuable in Haiti.
This collection of images is part of my published work, A Fly in the Donkey's Eye, through Mission Photography. This United States 501c3 organization provides charitable receipts for purchases of this work that allow a tax deduction in the United States. All of the net proceeds of the sale of this work, less the cost of printing the book, go back to Bayonnais, Haiti in support of the school and medical clinic there. We also sell 11x17 fine art prints and packages of 10 greeting cards - please email me for more information.
