Stunning countryside…

We are in the town of Gracias (seriously), Honduras, which is about an hour away from our hotel for the night. The town we are staying in has no access to internet, so we made the drive for dinner and found ´ciber-cafe´¨.  After several hours of driving out of Tegucigalpa, we made it to the highlands of Honduras. I wish our connection was fast enough to post photos, because what I discovered here is an immense natural beauty. The people and the landscape. Stunning mountains, coffee plantations, lush green valleys and a warm people.

With recent rains, mud and ground water are plentiful. However, with ground water brings the need for filtration…thus bio-sand. Today we were able to see communities that have been transformed by the implementation of filters. Incredible. Simple solutions, incredible results. Then, we were able to install and implement the first Hydrate Hope bio-sand filter in Honduras. It has been a learning experience really being able to see the technology (primitive it may be) up close and personal.

My primary excitement is in knowing that this is such an incredibly easy, and affordable solution to water borne illnesses. One househole, one filter, around $100. Simple. Impactful. Thank you for your involvement in Hydrate Hope. We are looking forward to creating the next steps of involvement for Hydrate Hope and bio-sand.

Great things are happening through I Am Change. From our continued work in Sierra Leone, to Honduras and Set Hope Free launching in Thailand…incredible days are upon us. Thank you for joining together with others to make change a reality.

CHANGE BRINGS HOPE!
