So today, like every day since my involvement with WaterPartners, I try to do something to make a difference. Girls in Honduras collecting water from a stream also used by cattle. The groundwork for WaterPartners International was laid in 1990, when our executive director and co-founder, Gary White, and his family invited friends to a dinner to learn about the plight of people in Central America. That water system is still working, as are all the projects we have funded. They officially established WaterPartners as a nonprofit in 1993, with a vision of the day when everyone in the world can take a safe drink of water.
Today starts with getting online.
I work for a virtual organization, which means all staff members work out of home offices. Most of our daily interactions are through email. N.C. Some of the newer staff haven't met all the others, which is why we are looking forward to our staff retreat starting March 1st. I check our web statistics each morning. As the director of outreach, I am responsible for our website content.
