doctor! |

CLEAN,
SAFE WATER IS NO PROBLEM FOR THOSE WHO LIVE IN THE FIRST WORLD ... BUT
IT IS A LUXURY IN THE POOR NATIONS OF THE THIRD WORLD! Hundreds of
thousands of infants die each year of diarrhea caused by impure water.
Because our mission statement reads, in part, “[to help] improve the
quality of life for the people and the communities of Honduras,”
HELPING HANDS FOR HONDURAS has sponsored several clean water
projects over the years. |
