One of the realities of living in a country such as Haiti, is electricity is not a given. There is city power, which is not on all of the time. It is sporatic. When city power goes off, we have an inverter that cuts in in which we then have electricity in a limited way. After a time of being on the inverter, we require more power to operate adequately, so we then turn on our generator that can run the whole campus, but it is costly. Also, in a rather complicated way, our water supply is connected to our power supply. We do not take power for granted.
When we came in the fall of 2011, the batteries were old and in need of being replaced. They were no longer reliable.
With the generous support from you, we had a surplus of funding so we were able to give additional help to the this ministry. We put the funds towards the purchase of new batteries for the inverter. There are 42 of them at approx. $100 each. The inverter now works like a charm and is reliable when we need it to be. Thank you.
Here is a photo of them.
