R.I.P., EDH (City Power)

It’s been about two months since we don’t have City Power in our area of Haiti. Not even one day.

It’s been two months since our community was immersed in the dark. Maybe EDH has been kidnapped and killed. Who knows since kidnapping is still our current reality in Haiti.

Right now, we are experiencing a heat we never experienced before, and so many mosquitoes, as well. Notice, that it’s not even July yet.

I wish people in my area could have EDH at night, so that they could use a fan to help them fight the heat and the mosquitoes.

Fact: Yesterday, I went to three big grocery stores looking for some ice, so my family could have some cold water to drink. I found nothing. (I just feel so sad.)

Also, I also received a call from CERMICOL (the juvenile prison), telling me that they are in a complete darkness, as well. (All I can think is just wow.) They are looking for someone to help them get some lights with solar panel, because the absence of the City Power, affects everyone and everywhere.

It’s so hard right now, even for people to have their phones charged.

At Haiti Awake, we are so thankful and blessed beyond words that we have a solar system at the community center.

But it’s so sad to see the whole community in the dark.
