In 2004, Hendley, a small-town bartender, launched a series of wine-tasting events to raise awareness about the world's freshwater crisis. He initially planned to donate proceeds through traditional channels, but instead traveled to Darfur, where he witnessed a government-sponsored genocide intensified by a surprising weapon—the lack of clean water. Wine to Water is an authoritative account of Hendley's heroic response to a global crisis that proves that ordinary people can change the world.
Doc Hendley is the founder and president of Wine to Water, a nonprofit organization focused on providing clean water to people in need around the world, from Darfur to Haiti. He lives in Boone, North Carolina, with his wife and two children. View titles by Doc Hendley
