| Honduras Summer 2011 Day 9 |
Day 9 - our last work day! On this day we took 2 vehicles that eventually ended up at the same place. We all started out going to Casa de Esperanza – the children’s home that Marc and Terri Tindall run. It’s a neat place. The kids are clean, well-behaved, and obviously well-loved. Terri has a small store that has lots of locally made items. She sells these to help support the children. This is where we did our primary souvenir shopping.
After our visit to Casa, one van went Moaloa, a neighborhood in Tegucigalpa where we have built several houses in our previous trips. One of those houses was built in memory of Harrison Conley. Denise and Hannah Ingram, Harrison’s granddaughter and great granddaughter, wanted to visit the house and meet the family. I wanted to do this but was concerned that we would not be able to find the house. Thanks to Beth’s good memory and the help of a Honduran we found it! It was really good experience.
Following the visit to house, our van made our way back to the farm where we worked last week. The other group was already there and busy. We had planned for a backhoe to be there to do lots of digging for us. We were going to do the clean-up work after the backhoe dug. Unfortunately the backhoe did not show. We found plenty do. We help build some seed boxes, built a chicken tractor (know what that is? I didn’t), made a gutter, worked on their compost processor, and a bunch of other things. We are very impressed with this farm project. You can read more about it HERE.
We enjoyed a nice meal together. Marc brought us ice cream to enjoy afterwards. We shared thoughts about the trip, along with lots of words of encouragement. It was a perfect way to end an amazing trip.
Now we travel home.
