Honduras 05/08

This most recent trip to Honduras was very short and sweet. I have been pretty busy between all the different events in each country so I was not able to spend too much time in-country on this trip. The event was very successful. It was extremely well organized and exciting. We had 13 children's homes present and many staff and volunteers to help us keep it all in order.




The day's activites included soccer tournaments, Marimba concert, folkloric dances, a play (all actors were children from the different AOH homes), discoteca, carnival games, a snake to play with and a tent decorating competition.




After all the games and contests were finished the kids were literally showered with surprises of stuffed animals, candy, toys, and soccer balls. The bigger children were indoors at the "Discoteca" and all the smaller children squealed and cheered to get the gifts.

The day ended a half an hour early due to rain. We were lucky to have such a beautiful day and it was appreciated that God held off the major rain storm until the late afternoon.
