I saw the same baggies of water in Haiti. They must be easier to transport, or cheaper, or have some government mandate for use for their own privilege. Or all three.

Also, I don't think I ever saw a happier child than when I gave a Haitian boy one of my bottles of water. It was like a kid here in America receiving a Game Boy. Really makes you think.

I have seen the baggies of water in Peru and Mexico too, street venders use them.

-It sure does. I'm sitting here watching my daughter sit in a nice "high chair" eating organic fruits and cheese. We are extremely fortunate.
