El Zapotal, the morning we arrived.
Balloon arch, hand-lettered sign, the whole village waiting outside the schoolhouse. This is how a project starts.

Where today goes
This walk is what a spigot replaces.
In El Zapotal, water came up this path a bucket at a time. In 2026 the village and our team captured a protected spring above the houses and let gravity carry it down — to a storage tank, then to a tap at every home. No pumps. No electricity. Nothing that has to be imported to fix it.
- 0Pumps or power lines. Gravity only.
- 1Spigot at every house in El Zapotal.
- 50thEl Guanito, under construction now. The U.S. team comes home September 12.
After the round
H2O Projects
Spring. Tank. Tap. Gravity does the rest.
We capture a protected spring above the village and run it downhill to a storage tank, then to a spigot at every house. Before anything is built, the community secures legal water rights. Afterwards an elected water board owns it, households pay a monthly fee, and a trained neighbor makes the repairs.
Volunteer story
Nobody spectates.
Volunteers work alongside Honduran compañeros all week — pipe in hand, not a camera. We say it changes the life of a village and the heart of a man. It's the second part people don't expect.
Volunteer sign-up
Adventure with a purpose.
A week on the mountain with a team like this one — and the compañeros standing beside them. Leave your details and we'll call you about the next trip.
The challenge
Steep is the point.
The community dug most of this trench before our team ever landed. We finished it together, on a slope you'd think twice about walking. The challenge isn't the dirt. It's showing up for it.
Lunch with Mark Smith
Lunch?
Mark Smith is our executive director. If today left you wanting the longer version — how a spring gets captured, who sits on a village water board, what El Guanito looks like this week — he'd rather tell you over lunch than in a paragraph.
