In 2004, Hendley-a small- town bartender- launched a series of wine-tasting events to raise funds  for clean-water projects and to bring awareness to the world's  freshwater crisis. He planned to donate the proceeds through  traditional channels, but instead found himself traveling to one of the  world's most dangerous hot spots: Darfur, Sudan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere, 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  to Water continue to help stricken peoples repair and maintain water- containment systems in places like Darfur, Cambodia, Uganda, and Haiti.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDoc is a regular, rough-and-tumble guy who loves booze, music, and  his Harley- but he also wanted to help. \u003ci\u003eWine to Water\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47119173124336,"sku":"9781101554302","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781101554302_p0.jpg?v=1763688199","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781101554302","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
