Work day #1 complete

After getting a bit of a late start, the team loaded the bus and headed to Radio Lumiere. After a tour of the facility we laid out the plans for our work to be completed during our stay here in Haiti. First order of business was unpacking our materials from the shipping crates, staging a supply room / prefab shop and making some shelves from the crates to organize small parts. The team formed into smaller groups and the work got started.

As we wrapped up our day a new 200 amp service cable was run the length of the building, from the service entrance to the mechanical room. At the front of the building a new service disconnect was mounted and ready for hook up tomorrow. Back in the mechanical room, the 2 new automatic transfer switches and 2, 200 amp main load centers were mounted on the wall and some of the preliminary wiring complete. This evening, after our first "tap tap" ride ( a tap tap is a Haitian taxi made from a pickup truck with a cage like cap on the bed) we check out of the guest house from last night and moved into another across town.

The team has just rejuvenated with fantastic nourishment at our new accomidation will spend some time together in fellowship and reflection in preparation for our day tomorrow.
