We received a very special visit in August. Patricia travelled to Switzerland and was surprised when she returned. The older girls visited a hotel for the first time and were amazed by the amenities.
This month it's about a kidnapped child who was found and was brought to us, our participation in the meeting of all the orphanages from San Pedro Sula and the great visits we were blessed.
In addition to the care of the children and young people in the children's home "Yo Quiero Ser..." and the projects in Santa Rosa de Copán (see newsletter March), the foundation has other social projects in which it supports those in need.
Thousands of Honduran children live in extreme poverty. According to the World Bank, Honduras is one of the poorest countries in the world. The consequences of poverty include a lack of access to health, education and nutrition, as well as sexual assaults on girls and boys. In a world where everyday life is marked by the struggle for survival, this is widely accepted. That is why the mistreatment rarely leads to lawsuits.
It was time again… We escaped the 40°C hot San Pedro Sula and went to Santa Rosa de Copán for a week with all the children. But also in the city we had undertaken all kinds of activities and also received a visit from a sponsor.
Our foundation does not only support the children's home "Yo Quiero Ser..." in San Pedro Sula for several years, but has also settled in the department of Copán. In this issue of our newsletter we would like to give an overview of the other projects.
We were able to put our new school and community room into operation. Before the new school year had begun, a few children could participate in a camp. The local newspaper published a portrait and the dentist has carried out an extensive check-up of all children.
Where am I? Where am I going? Sometimes it is useful to pause for a moment and analyse your current life situation. We wanted to know from our children how they would answer such questions. They therefore received a questionnaire from us. This newsletter is about analysing the answers.
