VCU GH2DP Honduras Trip: A Day of Meetings in Olanchito

Meeting with the local Minister of health and his staff

Our first full day in Olanchito was a whirlwind but very productive.

We met with the local Minister of health and his staff and discussed our work to date and future collaboration.

Meeting with our local community partners
We then met with our local community partners and thereafter with staff from the Pico Bonita Foundation. We discussed collaboration on new water chlorination systems that can provide clean drinking water to 5 of the 17 villages we serve; we are very excited about this potential project.

Meeting with the Pico Bonita Foundation
Today we are traveling to the mountains and will be hiking out to several villages (Chorro Viento and La Culata) to meet with people and investigate old water procurement infrastructure. Will then meet with our community partners in La Hicaca.

More to come!
