Jr. Medical School in Honduras

Jr. Medical School in Honduras

Distance Learning

Matt & Mikey Thorn are both going to Jr. Medical School in Honduras.  They are far from their home in Mississippi.  The boys are working in a real pharmacy under the direction of their church group and licensed medical personal from the United States.  At present, the boys are acting as Kid's Talk Radio science reporters reporting on Jr. Medial School and what they see in Honduras.


Water is going on with the water supply and sanitation in Honduras?

Water supply and sanitation in Honduras varies greatly from urban centers to rural villages. Larger population centers generally have modernized water treatment and distribution systems, however water quality is often poor due to lack of proper maintenance and treatment. Rural areas generally have basic drinking water systems with limited capacity for water treatment. Many urban areas have sewer systems in place for the collection of wastewater, however proper treatment of wastewater is scarce. In rural areas, sanitary facilities are generally limited to latrines and basic septic pits.

Water and sanitation services were historically provided by Servicio Autonomo de Alcantarillas y Aqueductos (SANAA). In 2003, a new "water law" was passed which called for the decentralization of water services. With the 2003 law, local communities have the right and responsibility to own, operate, and control their own drinking water and wastewater systems. Since passage of the new law, many communities have joined together to address water and sanitation issues on a regional basis.

Many national and international non-government organizations have a history of working on water and sanitation projects in Honduras. International groups include, but are not limited to, the Red Cross, Rotary Club, Catholic Relief Services, Water for People, CARE, and SHH.

In addition, many government organizations working on projects include: the European Union, USAID, the Army Corps of Engineers, Cooperacion Andalucia, the government of Japan, and many others.

I recommend that the program keep their costs low and the entire operation accessible by buying cheapest textbooks, like the ones at http://www.cheapestertextbooks.com- which are often up to 95% off.
