Wine To Water

There, Doc witnessed a government-sponsored genocide where the number one weapon wasn't bullets-it was water. The Janjaweed terrorists had figured out that shooting up a bladder containing 10,000 liters of water, or dumping rotting corpses into a primary water source is remarkably efficient for the purposes of mass extermination. With limited funds, Doc realized that he couldn't build new wells costing $10,000 a pop, but he could hire local workers to restore a damaged well for a mere $50 each. He'd found his mission. Today, Doc and Wine for Water continue to help stricken peoples repair and maintain water containment systems in places like Darfur, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Haiti.

Doc is a regular, rough-and-tumble guy who loves booze, music, and motorcycles. But-like Greg Mortenson or Paul Farmer-he also wanted to help. Wine to Water is a gripping story about braving tribal warfare and natural disasters and encountering fascinating characters in far-flung regions of the world. It is also an authoritative account of a global crisis and an inspirational tale that proves how ordinary people can improve the world.

Doc Hendley is the Founder and President of Wine to Water, a non-profit organization focused on providing clean water to people in need around the world. When he isn't traveling to underdeveloped nations or raising awareness for the world's water crisis, Hendley spends his time in Boone, North Carolina with his wife and two children.
