The first stop planned was Mi Esperanza. It is an organization that helps train women in trades that will allow them to earn an income and support a family. Sewing and hairstyling are among the trades the women learn. We toured the building and saw the training rooms (including the new salon that was designed by our stylist Caity Davis). After, we went to the store where all proceeds go to the furthering of Mi Esperanza's vision. (Perfect timing for Mother's Day)
Next we headed out to the farm run by Bread for a Hungry World in Zambrano. All of the products of the farm go towards feeding the people of the dump. We dug through some hard rock and set up posts with cement for an overhang on top of a few of their compost piles.
After finishing up what we could there, we went up to the orphanage called Didasko. Corey Bryant had been absolutely dying to go back there since visiting a few weeks ago and we all quickly understood why. The area was beautiful and the kids were even more so! We were all swept off right away to the playground for some running, climbing and swinging to start off our vist. Then we set up a movie and brought in a popcorn machine that everyone seemed to enjoy (including the bus driver, Edwin).
We ate dinner at a new burger joint in Teguc. (I know... we can eat burgers at home...but they had a touch of Honduras in them) It was called La Matambrita. Afterwards we returned to the house for our last evening together. We talked about continuing our passion for serving God after the trip. We worshipped and communed with passion as a family with One Father. We are all upset that week has come to a close, but overjoyed with the memories made and the relationships created.
