Bringing Global Health and Sustainable Development to Rural Honduras
| November 27, 2011 | Posted by Craig Shields under Sustainability |
My nephew Garrett continues to reflect lasting credit on all of us in the extended Shields family — not only with his scholarship, but also with his participation in incredible activities like this Public Health Brigade, centered around global health and sustainable development. As part of his college major in the subject, he’ll be spending a week in January in rural Honduras, helping people who haven’t had the advantages that most 2GreenEnergy readers enjoy. He’ll be working together with the indigenous people, building a bridge to a world of better sanitation. I hope you’ll check out the video linked above.
