When looking over the UNICEF website this was very eye catching for me.  It was an article on clean water in Honduras.  This kind of hit close to home be one of my student parnet  is from Honduras.  I remember she would come in and tell us how it was over them. She would always so it was bad meaning poor.  She said that the states are better.  I never really thought about how bad it was until I read on the article.  UNICEF staff visit a small community in western Honduras to see how the lives of residents have changed since the installation of improved water and sanitation infrastructure (Marcos González, 2012).  With support from UNICEF, the National Autonomous Service of Aqueducts and Sewers (SANAA) recently installed improved water and sanitation infrastructure in the area. Twelve months ago, this programme brought tap water to each of the 40 homes in this community, changing residents’ lives completely (Marrcos Gonzales, 2012).  Before the water was install people would catch rashes but now that they installed a new water system it does happen anymore. 

The lack of drinking water not only affected children's health in Cerritos II, it also seriously hindered their access to education  (Marrcos Gonzales, 2012). Children had to fill water jugs instead of going to school.  One teacher said that attendance has improve since the water system has been put in place. 

This article really sadden me.  I can not image living without the water and that is one of the simple thing some of us take for granted.  This article was very touching.
