Honduras: Official Recognition of SCAW's Contribution

Children welcome us with their school banner From Honduras 2007 Album 1

Our distribution site today was thirty minutes from downtown Tegucigalpa, in a beautifully maintained school overlooking the lush hills and valleys in this region.

488 children from 8 schools in the area were the happy recipients of SCAW bedkits.

The First Lady of Honduras (the wife of the President) visited the site today and expressed her gratitude for the contribution that Sleeping Children makes to the health and well being of youngsters in Honduras. The First Lady is the patron and sponsor of the Healthy Schools Project, a government funded initiative that promotes the health of children in need by providing a breakfast program, gardening program, and health and dental care.

Today, volunteers from the Healthy Schools Project helped us by organizing the children and translating for us at each stage of the distribution process. The SCAW Team appreciates the support of the Honduran volunteers and our Rotary partners who help to keep things running smoothly.

We are proud to be part of a team committed to enhancing the lives of the wonderful children here.

Judy Skelton, for the 2007 SCAW Honduras team
