Katie: Thanks for the introduction and the information about your organization and its ongoing efforts. I'll wait to hear from any of the addressees to explore further any ways in which we might collaborate.
Rescue Task Force (RTF) was founded in 1988 by Gary Becks, and has operated continuously since, responding to crisis locations around the world (e.g.: Afghanistan, Kosovo, the Tsunami region, Iraq, Honduras and El Salvador after hurricane Mitch), but also having ongoing projects in the La Mosquitia region of Honduras and in Afghanistan where it has built and operates 9 primary schools.
My current function as a volunteer is attempting to get potable water into the Mosquito villages of Uhsan, Lacunca and Sih Honduras by the end of the year, and thereafter, assuming acceptance and good results, into the dozens of other villages that our medical clinic system will ultimately serve. The goal is 10 clinics in 10 strategically located villages, at least one clinic within one day's canoe trip of several dozen other villages. We have 3 clinics now completed in the three villages named above, and a 4th one is to be completed by years end (hopefully).
Again, thanks. We'll see what develops.
