Our first task upon
arrival was threading straps for the 600 children’s backpacks! Luckily, we had
the help of our wonderful Rotaracts!
The Rotaracts are part of our overseas partners, the Rotary Club of Tegucigalpa.
The school we were at
today was built with the assistance of a Honduran benefactor and the government.
There have been additions over the years, as the original building was
destroyed by Hurricane Mitch in 1998. When we arrived, one of the classrooms
was full of the mattresses waiting for our distribution.
At the end of the day, another 600 Honduran children went home with smiles on their faces and their
arms full of their new bedkits.
Thank you to our
generous donors!
