Bucket Brigade

Almost all of the new construction in Haiti is block, stone, or cement. I came across these workers lifting up 5 gallon buckets one after another, filled with concrete, in order to pour a new concrete roof on top of a two story home in Cap Haitien. Am guessing that it was a very strong ladder!
This house at an orphanage near Cap-Haitien is waiting on its concrete roof. Bamboo poles hold-up the boards which will support the weight of the concrete until it cures. (Do check out Children of the Promise.)
