Mission Work, Living

I'm back from the mission trip to Honduras. I have much to share and many pictures (of which I don't know how to load). All in due time. Did you know that in the slum neighborhoods of the capital of Honduras the annual income is $700 to $1000 a year? Most of the houses we visited during the bags of corn delivery were one or two rooms, the outside covered with crude wooden planks, a dirt floor and plastic bags or tablecloths used to cover the inside walls. One house had a plastic tablecloth that said Happy Birthday all over it. The schools have bars on the windows and razor wire on top of the perimeter wall. Those are not there to prevent looting, but for protection for the children. Anywhere we went was uphill, both ways. In order for a child to attend school, the parent must pay all book fees, buy a backpack, and buy uniforms. You can understand that several children are not able to attend school. More to come.
