While my husband was in Honduras on a mission trip last week, my girls and I learned about Honduras.
Compassion’s work in Honduras began in 1974. Currently more than 39.900 children participate in more than 165 child development centers.

Our first Compassion child is from Honduras, and we began sponsoring her in May of 2005... 6 years ago this month!
ReplyDeleteOnce I became an Advocate for Compassion, Honduras was the first country I visited. We met our Compassion child, and added another after a home visit to a child's home.
My blog has several posts about our trip, all under the Honduras label. The trip took place in June/July of 2010. Here is the link:
