On 12th January, 2010 a 7.0 earthquake rocked Haiti, killing more than 250,000 and leaving more than 1.3 million residents homeless. EDV responded to the Haiti earthquake in early June 2010, and we are working with Classique
school.
The school survived the earthquake undamaged. As one of the only surviving schools in the community, it has been inundated with children wanting to attend classes. The school’s director also allows many of the children in local orphanages attend for free.
But in attending, the children were facing health risks because of the flooding which affected the property.
Working with our local partners, GrassRoots United, and the school’s staff, we engaged international and Haitian volunteers to dig a large drain and relieve the flooding on the school’s property.
As there is very little working sanitation in the area, the mud also contained human faeces. Many of the children do not have shoes, so there was a risk of them contracting a waste borne illness. The standing water also provided a haven for mosquitoes which carry malaria and dengue.
The school also hosts a vocational training school which was severely affected by the earthquake. We hope that this drainage project will be the first step toward helping the vocational training school get back on its feet.

At a family event last weekend, a cousin pulled out her Grandfather's old suitcase with memorabilia of his time in the Army during world War 1. I only had time to photograph a few items. I hope to get the chance to copy the rest of the items.
I just want to say thank you guys soo much for all the advice, emails and comments that I recieved over Pear's digging habits. lol
I can't wait to see what see her full grown! The vet predicts she will be between 44 to 50 pounds at 20 - 22 inches in height. We sort of run every morning at 6AM.

"Brenda," the U-Link tunnel boring machine, is digging from Capitol Hill Station to downtown. Workers are shown here cleaning the tunnel with a tunnel vacuum machine.
It was a nice morning so I let Yeti come out to play while I did some gardening :) he was so funny racing around and covering himself in soil! Any ideas what I should plant in here this year? I hated the nasturtiums they got out of hand so I'm potting them instead. I was thinking a couple of lavender bushes, but what else?
A view of the main dock at Penarth under construction. In the back ground is the River Ely, and a sailing ship can be seen loading coal at one of the Coal tips on the river. These were still in use up until 1966 long after the docks at Penarth closed. The docks themselves opened 1865.
Returning to Dosewallips State Park for annual clam digging. Very long ferry line wait had us missed the lowest tide near noon. We still met our daily limit in no time. This year's trail was a lot greener, with the addition of yellow wildflower. ktula brought a bucket of sea water home to soak the clams in overnight. The clams were super active feeding and moving around in the sea water. I love watching them do their things.

No idea what Diablo was digging for, Noche had no idea either but tried to help.

This young girl caught my attention as we were walking toward the Japanese dock section that washed up on Agate Beach north of Newport, OR. She was doing what nearly all kids do at the beach, dig in the sand.
Long expired Fomapan 200 and long expired Rodinal. I'm trying to force myself back into taking film photographs.
