Amigos De Honduras

Chris Parkinson joins us on this podcast to share about a trip that he took in February with the Rotary International to Honduras.  Over the last 30 years, Rotary District 7870 (includes 60 Rotary clubs in Southern NH and Southern VT) has sent mission trips and aid to Honduras, which is the second poorest country in the western hemisphere. Amigos De Honduras is a program the Rotary District 7870 and since 2001, has concentrated its efforts in three areas:

1. Medical Care - more than 22,000 medical and dental patients.
2. School construction & education - constructed 5 new schools, expanded 4 schools, and converted 2 buildings into schools.
3. Pure water - working with another Rotary partner, Pure Water for the World, installed over 10,000 water filters which provides clean water to more than 50,000.

The latest Mission trip was February 2 - 10, 2013 and the team had 28 members, led by Chris Parkinson (ninth trip).  Please join us to learn more about the Rotary International and an update on all of what was accomplished on this recent trip.
