Clean Up....Where to Begin

Port-au-Prince has no sanitation department as far as I could tell.  Words cannot describe the amount of trash that has filled that city.  These pictures are an accurate description, however....
There is a system of canals that traverse the city.  These canals are filled with trash... styrofoam food containers, soda bottles...more trash than I have ever seen.  Just having to look at so much trash was depressing.  I can hardly imagine what it must be like to live amongst the rubbish.
Invariably, in these canals, you would also see sights like this....

Where to begin indeed!!! It is depressing just to seem the pics! I can't imagine being there. These folks are going to need help for a long time to come. God bless you and your hubby for giving of your time to help out.
