GED Social Studies… Life Around the World

Blog Category: GED Social Studies, Geography — Blogged by: Becca on December 10, 2007 at 2:38 pm

I found this great article by a Peace Corps volunteer who’s working in Honduras. When you want a glass of water, you probably turn on your faucet and there it is. You’re probably like me, you don’t even think about it. But this village in Honduras, they have pipes that go to a stream nearby. In the summer, they’re all dried up, and in the winter, the water’s not clean.

This is the story of the Peace Corps volunteer, Joan Heberger, trying to get a plan together to get water to the village.

Read the story, and I’ll have a GED practice question for it next week.
