Report 2 Honduras Summer 2012

I have sneaked away (not really) to Café El Gringo to use their Internet service. The rest of the team are in 2 places on this Thursday morning. One group, most of our men, are out finishing 3 houses that we started yesterday. The other group is at Casa de Esperanza working on various projects. Where I am is only a 10 minute walk from there.

We have had a couple of really good days! We built a house on Monday, which I reported about last time. On Tuesday we visited the Dump. It’s place that is so hard to visit! I have written previously about it, and you can read it here.

After the Dump, we went to an area that had several fast food options for lunch. It was there that I found internet access and was able to make my previous post. After lunch we went to the school for the blind. That was another emotionally-tough place to visit. The kids covet love, attention, and touch. We played with them for a while, and then they did a little performance for us. They sang beautiful songs really well.

Following the school for the blind, we went to the Breaking Chains ministry, run by Amber Foster. She is an amazing person who works with a very difficult, if not dangerous, population: the homeless, addicts, prostitutes, abandoned kids. Her love and faith are remarkable.

Here are some photos from the dump. The lady with the pick hood is Luz. She is in her mid-thirties and works at the dump. She has breast cancer and is very afraid. She has a 2 year old grandchild and is deeply concerned about his future. She asks Marc (and all of us, including you) to pray for her. She asks Marc frequently to make sure that he will take care of her grandson, if something happens to her.

Keep praying for us! Everyone is doing well, and the trip is going really well. We are spending everyday (so far) with Sheralee Kerr. Here (hopefully) are some photos from the dump:
