This summer, Brian and I had the awesome opportunity to go to Haiti with an organization called Raincatchers. Every year Raincatchers takes multiple teams to Seguin Haiti, where "Raincatchers" are constructed. Since fresh water is extremely difficult to find in the area, a Raincatcher is a gutter system that is used to collect and store water as it rains. Over the course of the trip, our group of 20 was able to create and repair a total of 45 Raincatchers. We were truly blessed, making all of our flights and having great weather. This is an experience that we will never forget.
I have used a website called Animoto to create a short movie clip of our journey. I hope you enjoy a little taste of our trip:

Great use of Animoto Sara. The music is perfect and the pictures give a great peak into what you were doing. I bet the folks at Raincatchers would love to have this on their site.
