Here are just afew picutres from our Earth Day all school field trip. I love the one of Jeyson in the tree. It was pretty hot for all of us mountain people, and humid, and we sought shade and liquids at everyturn. Jeyson is a special boy dear to my heart. He came in new to the school this year behind most of the kids in english. At the beginning he had a private tutor most nights for about an hour or two and is now beyond most of the others in his english level. He lives with his grandmother and uncle because all I know is that his mother is living inthe States. This is such a common sad story with children not only in our school but in all of Honduras. Many people leave all behind, including their families, to go to the states to pursue the American Dream, make a lot of money and send a lot of it back to their loved ones here. That is why a lot of our students are in our school. They can afford it becuase they have a steady ïncome¨from the States, but I know the kids would much rather have their parents with them and be in a public school than have thier parents gone just so they could have more money. Jeyson is a really smart, sweet kid and he´s one of many. Please pray for us as we minister to them and for them that they will grow to know Christ as their one and only sufficient Saviour.
