More on the Focus Trip

Travel plans call for leaving Saturday AM March 6 on the non-stop(Continental from EWR) to San Pedro Sula and return Wednesday, arriving around 10:00 PM. We will visit homes of the students, visit public and private health clinics, visit a public school, visit schools that our students attend after graduation from HFH, visit the Youth for Christ camp and of course spend time in classes with the students. Cost should be a maximum of $700 pp depending primarily on air fare and number going. On this trip, you will get an overview of all we are doing in La Entrada and better understand the miracles our God is doing in La Entrada. Hope you can join us. - Glenn

Focus Trip – March, 2010

Glenn Taylor plans to lead a focus trip to La Entrada, Honduras, in March, 2010. There will be room for five or six people to accompany him. For those who have not been to La Entrada, it can be both an exciting and an eye-opening experience. The likely dates for the trip will be March 6th through March 10th. If you have interest in joining Glenn on the trip or would like more information about his itinerary, please contact him directly at getaylor@optonline.net.

Some Background Information

Here’s a little more information about the school. It was first established in 2000 and has grown to include classes from the 1st to the 6th grade. Classes include the basic elementary school curriculum, but also include art instruction, English classes and a full computer lab.

Most importantly, the school satisfies a very important need --- it gives children who might not otherwise be able to attend school, the opportunity to receive a solid education. Many children in La Entrada cannot attend school. In most cases this is because their parents cannot afford the cost of uniforms, books, etc. needed to attend public school. More often the children have had to “sell” on the streets to make money for the family to survive day-to-day.

The purpose of Hearts For Honduras is to encourage and support families to send their children to school. An important goal is to educate parents, who are mostly uneducated, about the value of getting an education to improve the quality of their life. The hope is that with more children being educated, future generations will have a better chance of breaking the vicious cycle of poverty.
