La Source, Haiti

La Source is a communal section in the Corail Arrondissement, in the Grand'Anse department of Haiti.

It was mentioned in a recent documentary film called The Philosopher Kings.

[1] One former resident who has emigrated to the United States, Josue Lajeunesse, has been active in bringing a clean water source closer to the village, whose residents had previously needed to travel to a nearby mountain for water, a twenty-mile round trip.

After the water system is implemented in 2010, he would also like to provide the village with electricity, in the form of solar panels, and computers.

[2] Lasource sustained heavy damage in the 2010 Haiti earthquake, and around half the structures in the town were damaged or destroyed.
