Volunteers with the Texas Baptist Men will soon be on the ground in Turkey helping people in the disaster zone.
A team of five men from North Texas left Tuesday morning to help in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake that killed thousands of people.
"These folks are ready to go, willing to go and they go, and they make a big difference," said David Hardage, a spokesman for the Texas Baptist Men. They will help set up two portable filtration systems. The machines will be able to provide clean water for more than 26,000 people a day. "It may be the biggest need they have right now. After all the buildings fell, the infrastructure underneath the ground also was really disrupted. So, we’re sending two of these water filtration purification systems and they’ll be able to provide fresh clean water for about 25,000 people a day.
