IT'S ABOUT LATRINES

Haiti Outreach published a report this week on a community development project for better health. The report is not about clean, community managed wells this time.  It's about latrines.  It is also about the process of changing personal habits for better health and life in rural Haiti.   Read the article here.

Postscript:   I am tempted to draw comparisons between the latrine development project of Haiti Outreach to transform unhealthy waste management in poor villages with our struggle to get global financial corporations and their various servicers to adopt good habits about handling the solid waste they excrete and abandon in Cleveland's residential neighborhoods hardest hit by the mortgage crisis. I won't.  I've already tried to make that point elsewhere.
