Opportunities Awaiting Me :)

WHY?
2/3 of humanity is living in poverty. It can be paralyzing to think about the enormity of the situation, and often, that is why we feel there is nothing we cab do. For so long I did not know where to start, what to do,how and when. Yet, I have always desired to work with the underserved, and I have found an organization that will empower me to do so.

WHERE? WHEN?
Honduras, El Progreso
Dec. 27-Jan. 7

WHAT?
There are numerous projects I will be able to get involved in. Examples include:
*Tutoring/Playing with the Children of the Copprome Orphanage (40% of the population is under the age of 14!)
*Working in the Nutrition Clinic (primarily dealing with malnurished children)
*Building Homes in Villa Soleada with Clean Ventilation (a leading cause of death is indoor house polution)
*Learning about the culture
