This is a 'Habitat for Helene' project. Teams can come down and provide labor and materials to fix a house that we deem in need. This home is Dean and Laverne's, they have 10 children, most of them live in this tiny 3 bedroom house. With rainy season upon us in Oct and a roof leaking from rust holes, it was perfect timing for this project to get done!

A new tin roof, the cheapest way to go, knowing that the sea air and humidity will cause it to rust again in several years. The noise from this type of roof in the rain is tremendous!

Here is Laverne, on wash day. She has both the 'old' way of washing with the washboard, and the 'new' idea, which is using a PVC pipe to agitate the laundry around in the bucket or basin. Either way, it is a laborious process to wash for a large household! Then on the line to dry.
