Honduras Project: First Deliveries

We are so excited to announce that the first two uniform deliveries in El Paraiso, Honduras are complete!  Thanks to our partnership with Pure Water for the World we will be distributing a total of 445 uniforms in a total of 9 schools.  Additionally, each child received a new pair of shoes!    

We can't wait to see how this project turns out, but for now here are a few pictures of the children receiving their uniforms!

Check back for updates on the rest of the uniform distributions!

Muchas Gracias

A few Fridays ago we had a wonderful surprise in our mailbox, a stack of thank you notes from our project in El Salvador.  These notes written by students, parents and teachers were not for me and Jess, but for ALL of our donors!  Starting today we will be sharing a note or two each week so that all of you can be properly thanked from these adorable children.

First up, from Lucia Gabriela age 9 (the blonde hair is amazing)

Hope this smiling face brightens everyone's Monday!
