Gonaives, Haiti (Mar. 10, 2005) -- U.S. Navy Seabees assigned to Naval
Mobile Construction Battalion One (NMCB-1), construct a new school for
students in Gonaives, Haiti. NMCB-1 is constructing the new school to
replace Ecole N.D. de la Nativite elementary school, shown back left,
which was buried in more than 10 feet of water after the hurricanes of
2004. Reconstruction and renovation in Gonaives is slow since much of
the city's infrastructure was severely damaged and electricity is yet
to be restored to the city. NMCB-1 is part of the New Horizon Task
Force, which is deployed to Haiti for three months to conduct
humanitarian construction and medical assistance. The construction
projects include building three schoolhouses, and drilling three
potable water wells. U.S. Navy photo by Chief Journalist Dave Fliesen
