Hi All,
We had a great trip to El Hogar. Good weather flying and a great pilot to bring us in for a smooth landing. We were met by Raul, his son and other staff that helped us load up and make our way through the busy streets of Tegucigalpa and into the campus.
Once here, we indulged in a late lunch of tortillas, BBQ chicken and rice. The campus is much improved from my last visit two years ago with a remodelled cafeteria and repainted structures. The children were VERY welcoming and excited to see us we were equally excited to meet them.
Tomorrow, we´ll rise bright and early for church and a day filled with sharing and visiting with the children. Raul has a full and exciting week of work and fellowship planned for us and we're anxious to get started! We're still figuring out this computer system, so hope to have photos posted here in the near future.

ReplyDeleteI think about you all so much wondering how you liked church and if you took some kids out to Burger King. Love them a lot. Look forward to seeing photos. Love, Jane and Perry Nies
ReplyDeleteWish I were with you and so happy for you, the children and staff at El Hogar. You are in our prayers. Love, Carl Croft
ReplyDeleteDebbie, glad to hear you made it safe and sound. A big "HELLO" from the class. They are excited to know if you have given out their letters. Huggs and Love, Hartman Hawks

DeleteHola a Forest City Owls de Tegucigalpa, Honduras!
I am learning to teach in Spanish! The children here are teaching me many words and I have looked up MANY words in my Spanish/English dictionary!
My team of eleven adults is doing many different activities with and for the children: baking, sewing, playing recorder and keyboard. In the evenings, we play games, dance or do crafts. They go to their dorms at 7:00 p.m., right after we give them a treat (popcorn, chocolate or dumdums - thanks to Mrs. Tittle and Miss Burgess)!
Hartman Hawks - I gave your letters to the principal. She is going to have the children write back! It will probably be en espanol!
I will have many pictures and stories to tell you when I get home!
Adios a mis estudiantes favoritas!
amor,
Dona Clifton
It is great to see the photos, Noah's Ark, Debbies flutes, Harold and Bill working on walls, Shirley combing a little girls hair, Barbara listening to problems (Did she have an interpreter?) This interaction with the children is different from the last teams experience for sure.It all sounds really great. Peace, Jane Nies
