Volunteers are an indispensable asset to the Agua Pura projects in Honduras. Not only do they contribute to virtually all aspects of the project they also gain a meaningful experience from serving. Currently, three of the projects in Honduras are working with long term Agua Pura volunteers and two work with Peace Corps volunteers. As we become increasingly busy here in Santa Barbara, we feel a need for extra help. Therefore, we have requested a full time Agua Pura volunteer to work with the Santa Barbara project.
In the meantime we have the wonderful opportunity to work with Rolf Stengl, an Agua Pura/CAWST volunteer from Calgary, Canada, here to work with us for two months. Rolf has traveled in Guatemala, Puerto Rico, and Ecuador. Even so, Rolf says “Honduras and this project is totally different. Today in El Balsamo we went on roads and trails right out of an Indiana Jones movie, including the hanging bridge. I’m amazed they got filters in there. It’s worth it, as everyone we talked to say their health has improved and they use the filters daily. This group is a fun bunch, and I’m glad to be working here.”
