Great story of Ecosmarte stockholder Jeff Gacek getting four orphans out of Haiti on Sat; also great shots of of our water truck and pleas for food and water by Haiti informal camps.
For the blog-- we need to stres we want to raise one years worth of water truck funding, $6000 to $10,000 which will secure a full time driver, a full time security guard, gasoline and repairs to keep two water trucks going instead of one as their volunteers cannot sustain this effort too long .
Someday it is our goal to build a solar powered desalination system (as proven in the Middle East) to furnish daily water for the slums in Citei Solei. This project will only run $ 1 million dollars with our partner vendor discounts and it is amazing this has not been built. It will be built to withstand both hurricane and earthquake 300,000 people will have access to their very low 3 gallon per day per person use thru a plastic pipeline. We hope others will copy the engineering and equipment group for three other systems in Port au Prince.

We love saving people thru emergency water but wish to devote future years to infrastructure. The current attention to the crisis should make the easements, permits and engineering help easier to obtain. Ecosmarte seeks intellectual talent, quasi public experience and philanthropic partners to chase this immediately
They have updated thier blog from Haiti and continue to ask for your prayers and support.
