On the northern coast near La Ceiba many kids live with their grandmothers. We try to help with their needs. They are also being helped by our good friends at Helping Honduras Kids.

There are a group of about 35 families that were displaced in 1974 by hurricane Fifi from their farmlands on the Mosquitia Coast. They have been "squatting" on land since that time. Amigos has purchased a plot of land where they can start over. Helping Honduras Kids is now building a "kinder" for the children on the land. Helping Honduras Kids has now completed the kindergarten and volunteers are teaching.

We are very actively involved with the Home of Love Orphanage in La Ceiba. It has been great visiting and spending time with the kids. They are truly amazing! The orphanage was opened in May of 2007 and currently has 20 children. It is operated by Helping Honduras Kids.
Valerie Nelson left the tropics of Canada intent on helping in some way in Roatan. She has developed an HIV awareness clinic. She is saving lives of children born to HIV mothers by providing formula for the babies. Amigos helps Valerie by sending shipments of clothing and formula. We are also helping to fund the purchase of a home for one of the HIV mothers.

In Comayagua we do microcredit loans for individuals that want to become independent. Loans have been for everything from wood for a carpenter to a fruit stand for a vendor.

Doctor Black has moved from Texas to help Hondurans. He has opened a medical clinic up the Cangrejal River near La Ceiba. He also tries to provide a glass of milk a day to the children. David has also started soccer teams for the youth. We provide the uniforms and soccer balls for these teams and try to keep the clinic stocked with medicine.

Charlie and Amalia run the new child care center in El Porvenir. Amigos provided the materials for the building. Ryan Daniels did a fund raiser in Park City that made this all possible. Si, se puede!
