June, Global Medical Brigades at University of California Riverside will be
traveling to Honduras to provide relief through medical care, public health,
and education. We will spend a week traveling to underserved, rural areas
around the city of Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras, building stoves,
floors, latrines, and setting up temporary clinics where people can come and
receive medical treatment free of charge. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Tw Cen MT","sans-serif"'>Honduras
is one of the poorest countries in Latin America with 53% of the population
living in poverty. Disease and malnutrition are the leading causes of death in
children under 5 years old.<span style='color:black'> The basic needs of
education, health care, and clean water are luxuries for the majority of the
people there, and in the rural communities where we will be working, they are
even scarcer. We are entering an era where the community is global, and as
global citizens, we must do our part to contribute what we can in helping those
in need.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

year, Global Medical Brigades at UC Riverside has made it a special project to

the homes of these families and build stoves, latrines, cement floors, pilas
(containers for sanitary water treatment) and most importantly establish
relationships with them. We came to learn that the village has a school, but
many children are unable to attend because they can’t afford school
supplies. Without the opportunity to attend school, these children’s
dreams for the future are limited to the poverty that surrounds them. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

year, we are looking for any school supplies including notebooks, pencils,
paper, crayons, markers, etc. that can be donated so these children can go back
to school and have a glimpse of hope for their future. Without education and
literacy, they may never know if their dreams of tomorrow could come true. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
