Floors

We received a perceptive comment from a volunteer who is planning her first trip to the clinic.  She looked at the photos in our Vaccination blog, and noticed how neat the mothers were and how clean our floors were.  The first observation is not unusual for visitors.  They often marvel how a woman can walk several miles down a muddy road, in the rain, carrying a baby and even a basket on her head, and look like she stepped out of a limosine.  We don't know they do it.  All we know is that the clinic is important to them, and they don't want to come looking anything less than their best. 

On the other hand, we do know how our floors stay clean.  It is because our cleaning staff work hard to keep them that way.  You may have noticed that our floors are white tile.  "Why white?", you might ask, "Won't it show all the dirt?"  Yes it does and that is why we want it.  Dirt can't hide on a white floor.  Is this the norm for all of Haiti?  Well, here is photo of a nearby hospital floor.
