Helping Hands for Honduras Photo Exhibit

by irene on February 18, 2010

Honduras is one of the poorest nations in the Western Hemisphere, trailing only Haiti and Nicaragua. Many families live in poverty, with very little medical care available to ensure that children have the opportunity to thrive. Through the help of Sharing Resources Worldwide and its volunteers, many children receive the medical assistance needed to ensure a healthier, happier life full of hope for the future.

Helping Hands for Honduras is a collection of photos that were shot by photograher Michael L. Sweeney of McFarland, Wisconsin.  The photographs in this collection were taken during a recent mission to Honduras.  Many local McFarland residents assisted in this mission through donations of time and money.  Medical professionals volunteered their time and badly-needed skills to provide medical services.  Local corporations, clinics and hospitals donated equipment needed to run the Honduran clinics and hospitals — this equipment would have otherwise ended up in landfills.

Please view the gallery of these photos online here.  These photos are also available for purchase.  All proceeds go SRW to support Honduran initiatives.  Please contact us for more information here.
