Members of the local Rotary Club came together on June 12 and 13 to make the existing Shelter located on Thompson Road handicap accessible. The Club had built the shelter in 2005 and now realized that there was a great need to make it accessible. We realized that a great number of people with disabilities were enjoying the use of the Rails-to-Trails pathway, and were not able to access the shelter in inclement weather.

Haiti is the most impoverished country in the Western Hemisphere and one of the poorest in the world. About half of the country's 9.5MM people do not have access to clean water. Bio-sand filters used alone or in conjunction with pre or post treatments remove water borne pathogens, particulates, organic and inorganic toxins to purify the water. Approximately 200,000 of these bio-sand filters have been installed worldwide and a production facility to manufacture these units in Haiti has been established.
