Before heading out to Haiti
this past Spring break, I wrote about the probable challenges the chicken coop
project would encounter. Sure enough, there were a few, but I didn’t expect the
one that is really blocking progress in establishing the business.
While there, Marco, Maud’s
trusted colleague and driver took me to the best places to purchase
chickens. We opted for the store with the largest inventory of chicken related
material, ordered and paid for the 50 chicks and 25 hens. The chicks did
materialize and are doing well under the watchful care of Edouardson, one of
the older boys of the Foyer. The hens? Well, that is another story: apparently
they are harder to come by, the shop keeper didn’t tell us that and they are still
not available, won’t be for another six weeks!!!!!
So it isn’t enough to have
plans, to build the coop, to even have the funds (thanks to my generous friends
and the Loyola community)….hens that lay eggs, the source of potential income, are
hard to get!
