Just some pictures from Honduras that would show contrasts from the United States:
This is how we make cement for our building projects. Sifting the gravel first,
then mix it all in a small, barrel type hand cement mixer.
This is my family going to the local 'pulperia' or small grocery/variety store.
I guess this would be our version of a 'quicky mart'.
This is the typical country home. Squatters really...just living on land on the
side of the road until someone runs them off.
This is the nearest village to where we lived, Portrerillos. We lived 45km from
the city of San Pedro Sula.
Since the water is undrinkable in the entire country, people rely on purified
water, which comes in small, 1/2 liter bags. Yes, bags...square bags of
which you rip or bite the corner off of and drink from. This man is our front
yard squatter and he is a great water seller. Would you like to buy your
purified water bag from this great establishment? We did.
actually there were water purification plants that processed the water for the bags and also 18 liter bottles. However, those plants hardly passed inspection sometimes. You just have to take your chances with drinking water and pray!
