This is a picture of Justin, he's one of 5 children who lives with his single mom. Justin and his family live in a one room hut made out of scraps of metal. His village was a refugee camp after Hurricane Mitch, and most of the homes are made out of found objects.
Sara - this little girl just stole my heart. She was the quietest girl I met while I was in Honduras. The only reason I know her name is because her friend told me. She never said a word while I was there, but just wanted to hang around and play.
This is just a portion of all the letters Compassion's Country office had received for the week. In the month of April, they received and translated over 18,000 letters. They're so careful to make sure they never lose a letter. Every letter is added into a data base and kept track of from when it arrives, until it's sent out.
I had the best time with this group of girls. They were so sweet, and kind. I'm handing out lollipops, and tootsie rolls. They never pushed or shoved to get the most. They actually helped me pass out the candy so everyone got some.
I think that they had more fun taking pictures than playing with the toys we brought for them. They loved our digital cameras. They would pose for the pictures, then run to see what the picture looked like. I took hundreds of pictures just so I could show the kids their lovely smiles.
These children were at school during their lunch break. They all came to the fence to take a look at the bus full of Americans. Many Honduran children go to school for half the day. So when they were done at school, many of these children came to the Compassion project and we had a chance to play with them.
