A day in the life of a HondurasChildren volunteer:
July 13, 2009 by admin, under News.
What do volunteers do each day in El Porvenir? A lot! The first part of the day often involves rounding up the children and walking over to the kinder. 
At the kinder we help everyone brush their teeth and take vitamins.
There’s lots of play-time! 
We do schoolwork too . . .
Sometimes we help Amalia in the garden . . .
Here is a day we cleaned up the beach . . .
And then we played at the beach!
Volunteers help with hygiene too!
We are all volunteers and we welcome you to help support and love the children of HondurasChildren of El Porvenir! ¡Muchas Gracias!

Just a reminder for those on their way to Honduras. A little bug spray goes a long way!!

Earthquakes . . . non-coups . . . just a normal day in El Porvenir . . .

So much has happened these past few months. There were a few earthquakes back in May. Well, more than a few but very little damage. The funniest reports came from our volunteers inhabiting the top bunks at the beach house – - yikes! But all is well and everyone was fine.
Then came the “coup” that wasn’t a coup. The international media really got this wrong at first. For great info on what really happened and is currently happening, visit this blog by a local La Ceiba ex-pat: http://lagringasblogicito.blogspot.com/.
And then the real story – - and that is that our volunteers are doing a great job working with the children of El Porvenir. ¡Muchas gracias to the crew from Duke University who did community health surveys! Also, many thanks to the ongoing international volunteers currently working at the kinder. (See below.) Your work is appreciated and more important than you could ever imagine.
¡Saludos!
