Program:
Rosie Higgs gave an excellent presentation about the Honduras Good Works. Her last trip was in 2022. She said it's a lot of hard work, up early, getting assignments, travelling two hours to a village, working on different jobs, and then travelling back to their home base before dark for food and socialization. Rosie said "supplying clean water for the people is her passion."
