The Honduras Water Project provides an opportunity for students to apply their knowledge by helping bring running water to impoverished people in Honduras. In partnership  with the Christian Reformed World Relief Committee and the Northern Alberta Diaconal Conference, and Diaconia Nacional (Honduras), students receive credit in the Social Science program at King’s for their involvement. The Project is also a great opportunity for students to get exposure to another culture and gain field experience in the application of development principles and practices.

“The Honduras Water Project was an opportunity to develop cross-cultural ties of trust and respect so as to restore the broken relationships between Hondurans and the Western world.  We came to serve, to learn and to connect.   As we learned the community’s story, we were able to envision the web of unjust events and actions that brought it into the current state of poverty.  We realized the importance of healing and restoration in all forms: for truly it is this which enables people to endure, hope and rediscover purpose in a world that fails them.  Whether breaking ground or breaking bread together with the Hondurans, I was so often struck with my desire to do exactly what I was doing at that moment: to serve and share in the lives of developing communities in need.”
