Hello from Honduras! I (Graham) am here with Jeremy Williams from Ankeny, IA and have discovered the reason people here need a siesta every afternoon - it's too hot to do anything else! Actually we couldn't even nap since our room felt like a convection oven. Aside from that we are enjoying our time getting to know the children and others here at the children's home. Azacualpa (the nearest town) is a small but crowded, and very-3rd-world community. The children's home we are visiting and serving this week is somewhat of a "light on a hill" here. In addition to the 24 or so children that live here, they drive an old school bus into town and bring dozens more out to the home for meals and sunday school. They also bring others for church Sunday nights.
Jeremy and I brought 6 netbook computers we plan to set up in a 'computer room' here at the home for the children to use. The high speed internet works fairly well when the power works! It's a strange phenomenon amidst the 3rd world surroundings but we're excited how the internet will be a great learning tool and resource for them. We'll try to post another update this week as our renovations and work progress.
