Hi and welcome to my page!

I am very passionate about helping people. Currently, many villages in Honduras don't have access to clean water. Most get their water when it rains, which would require them to boil it for 30 minutes for it to be safe enough to drink or use to wash dishes and bathe. Some villages are fortunate enough to have pumps miles away but sometimes these pumps are broken or contaminated with parasites, and they still can only get what they can carry by foot. I was lucky enough to go on a medical brigade last June, and I found that it was common practice for the doctors to hand each patient a pill that got rid of parasites for 6 months, and as I took down the symptoms for each patient, I found them all describing pains associated with parasites. This brigade gets to the root of the problem and helps provide access to clean water, which is something we are blessed to have without thinking about it.

During this brigade, we will be working alongside the villagers in digging trenches, putting in piping, and testing the quality of water. The kind of full-scale water system we hope to give them, requires the collaborative effort of many schools going on a 7-day brigade. At the end of this full-scale system, these villagers will have access to running water in their homes, a first for most. We will then make sure that the village has fully trained community members that can keep up the water system that so many villagers and brigaders worked hard to implement. Please assist me in helping the people of Honduras by making a donation.
