Kinder Graduation 2010!!
December 21, 2010 by admin, under News.
Congratulations to all of the Kinder children who will be moving up to first grade in February!
Many thanks to our wonderful teacher Rosa who works with the children every day and a special appreciation to Amalia and Charlie who do so much to keep the entire project operating.
And to each and every volunteer who worked at the Kinder this past year, whether you were with us for a week or a year, your support touched the lives of these children and provided educational, cultural and friendship opportunities that mean so much! 2010 Volunteers came from: UK, Sweden, Poland, Lithuania, Israel, Canada, USA, Australia, Spain, Denmark, Hungary and more! We understand the effort that it takes to travel to El Porvenir and we thank you for the amazing work that you do!

140 awesome kids!!
December 21, 2010 by admin, under News.
HondurasChildren supports several ‘Volunteer In Honduras’ external projects in the El Porvenir area by sending volunteers and helping to provide material support. We call these ‘external’ because they are not operated by HC but our volunteers go and work at them every day and so the children there are very dear to our hearts.
About 15 minutes down the road from the village of El Porvenir is a children’s home that houses about 140 children. Most children who live there are not technically ‘orphans’ but live there due to reasons of neglect, abandonment and abuse.
While we support 
this children’s home with volunteers through-out the year, many thanks to volunteers Poppy (UK), Eliza (USA), Dave (Australia), Zach (USA), Kristina (Canada), Billy (Australia), M
ary (USA) and Joe (UK) who have been running a Vacation Activities program at the children’s home since mid-November. Some of these volunteers have moved on but new ones will replace them in early January to continue the program until school resumes in February.
Special thanks also to Rikke S (Denmark) who has been with us since August. Rikke is a masters student from Denmark who has been developing and coordinating the Vacation Activities pr
ogram at the children’s homes in El Pino and Tela as well as with the children in the village of El Porvenir. Muchas gracias to Rikke for being dedicated, organized and really fun to work with!!
One more special thank you goes to re
cent visitor, Max M, age 13 from the USA who hosted a pizza party for all of the children at the children’s home, their caregivers and even the volunteers!!! Yum!! Lots of pizza, singing, fun and dancing. What a great evening!!
