Day Two- Team Leader Edition
Well, you know it's been a long day when all you get is the team leader willing to write the blog post! I know I won't be nearly as eloquent as Erin, but I'm going to try to give a great snapshot of the day! I was told just to write "We worked, we ate, we saw patients and we're going to bed!" but today was much more than
The Physical Labor Begins!
This post by Dylan Today was the first day of actual labor. Or at least that’s what we thought. The main event of the day was the start of us helping to build a house for one of the many wonderful women of the community. I have been looking forward to this day, because one of the ways I feel I am able to connect with others is through working alongside them to complete
Food Deliveries & Soccer
Today was a very long day for the team. First they purchased and organized food that was later delivered to several families within the community. Afterwards it was time to play soccer with children from the neighborhood. Thank you for your prayers and support. Remember to leave comments so we can read them aloud to the team. Back
Dios te Bendiga
This post by Rachel Today was a day of vision, to see Pastor Mario and Pastora’s passion for what comes next laid out before us. Although many details have not been worked out, the vision for the people and next generation gives goose bumps to my soul. Giving Pastor Mario hope for what’s to come was liberating to be a part of. As a group we went to the trading school that we hope
Money May Buy You Happiness But Joy is Free and Plentiful Here in Honduras
This post by Zack To be happy is a current state of emotion. One can be happy one minute and sad the next. However, joy in someone will always prevail no matter what the current emotion is. The town of Nueva Florida is full of joy. From the moment we show up each day until we drive off in our bus the people love on us and show us how much joy they have
Wedding Day!
This post by Ali Today is the day I have been looking forward to ever since I heard it was happening. Wedding day. It was every bit as beautiful as I thought it would be. We were able to witness 3 couples get married that otherwise would not have been able to. The people in this village usually cannot afford the paperwork required to get married, so many couples end up living together which
No Palabras
This post by Tonya No palabras….no words that’s how I feel when I go to explain this experience to anyone who asks. Here I go and try anyway. As you drive through town and wonder how there aren’t car accidents every 100 ft. You can see the poverty and the conditions that are lived in. Contradictions surround you, with white, and I mean white, laundry hanging on the line of a dirt yard. Though

Gratitude All Around
Wow, it was a busy day, we saw over a 170 patients. It was hopping, everywhere, Dental was cranking them through, we probably helped a few dozen people improve their vision with some glasses, and of course we filled hundreds of meds. Pharmacy was “ all hands on deck” as Jenni says. We were teaching in pharmacy and had 2 more teaching meds out on the playground. When we arrived at the school this
