Lake Forest resident Dee Orlowski said getting power to the Haitian orphanage she has volunteered with for the past seven years was a difficult process — and that was before the devastating Haiti earthquake that killed more than 230,000 people.
“We spent a fortune to get that place wired [in 2006],” Orlowski said of the Project Hope orphanage in southern Haiti, founded by former El Toro Marine base chaplain Marc Boisvert. More specifically, the cost approached nearly $30,000. She adds that monthly electricity bills are hefty – around $1,000 for just the lights.
