Our mission in Honduras is going better than anticipated.  We recently heard an inspiring story about a doctor in California who simply watched the Honduras documentary, and responded by calling the AFE School and providing them with a large some of money to finish their high school!  This is the power of sharing a story on behalf of another!

Honduras Christmas:  Thank you so much to our Southeastern University team for hosting ”Pictures with Santa” and their dedication to providing Christmas for the children of Trash Mountain Honduras.  We would also like to thank the H20 Connect Class at FBC Lakeland, as well as all other individuals who contributed so generously to make this Christmas special for the children.  Every child at the AFE School and many of their siblings received a full outfit, shoes, dinner, and a toy for Christmas this year thanks to your generosity.

Honduras Journey 2009:  Michael Barrett returned to the Tegucigalpa trash dump to celebrate with the children at the AFE Christmas party and continue our documentary coverage of the dump community.  Just one week later, Brett and Jaelle Durbin returned to the dump with a large team dedicated to building homes for a select group of our Trash Mountain families.  Thank you so much to the team that served the children and families of Trash Mountain Honduras.  Pictures and details from both of these journeys will soon be posted on this Blog, Facebook, and TMP website.
