Fight childhood disease with safe drinking water

Agua Pura seems to have a special connection to the young people of Latin America.They are often patriotic and civic minded and want to help improve their communities. They are eager to learn about how to protect themselves and their families from contaminated water and to share what they know with others.  Because it’s our focus to train people to carry on our programs, often they become some of our strongest supporters and advocates.
Agua Pura has also been fortunate to meet students from across Latin America in schools and colleges and they too have become our supporters.
Here are stories about just a few of our student volunteers, who have helped promote clean water and sanitation in their communities.
We first met Vicki when she was a student studying environmental technology.  She came from a very traditional Mayan community in southern Mexico and was eager to take back to her community ideas that she learned from Agua Pura.  With our help she developed a grey water filtering system for her school, and organized community clean ups. Vicki  has volunteered to help with water testing and purification programs throughout Mexico and has been invited to present programs in Guatemala as well.
Sayda is Honduran.  She went with us to the mountains of Honduras to help demonstrate clean water technologies in remote communities.  Sayda and her friends have volunteered a number of times with us.
Humberto in rural Honduras knows what we teach is so important that he shares what he has learned in his own community.
We often find bright young people like nursing student Danis who helped teach her community  in remote Panama about water testing.
In Haiti, Hovard, Lisemonde and Manno have formed student groups in colleges to help prevent cholera by showing how to easily purify drinking water.
These young women are helping build a new safe latrine for a school in Mexico.

We have many stories about how young volunteers have joined with us to help improve their communities, and we are proud to share them with you.  Thank you so much for your donations!  Can you consider becoming a recuring monthly donor?  It would help our programs so much to know that we can continue to count on you for support. 
Sincerely,

Tom Carter
