Honduras: The Power Of A Team!

Today was our first day of distribution in Honduras and a whirlwind of joy, learning, emotion and connection. Starting out early with our local partners, we were able to distribute 485 bedkits to beautiful Honduran children over the course of the day! One of the challenges felt by the team was our limited Spanish speaking capabilities, but this was markedly offset by the unspoken binding force of our common goal: the children.


While working in collaboration with the Rotary Club, Tegucigalpa’s Rotaracts, military officials, local sponsors, school teachers and parents may on paper sound like a recipe for chaos, the day was an incredible success due to the strength of commitment that jumped language and cultural barriers to make us all one big team. 



So strong was this spirit of purpose that even the security were jumping in to help blow up balloons! The marvelous energy of the team was only surpassed by the kids themselves, who brought infinite laughter, gratitude and hugs to the site. We are settling in for the night with our hearts warmed by the hope that these sweet children will be sleeping well in their bedkits tonight.
