The campus has come alive today, being Monday, with all the non residential students, staff and teachers here.  Some of the children come from the Tegucigalpa campus where they stay the weekend and some from the surrounding neighbourhood.  There are 21 boys who live here all year round for a total of 116 students here during the day.

The director, Norma spent about an hour with us, relating that this place is her life, her passion and her ministry.  She has been here for 26 years.  She updated us on all that is happening here especially with the new entrepreneurial program and curriculum that is being added this year.  We toured the campus visiting the workshops and classrooms of the electrical and welding areas. 

We observed that anything that can be fixed, uses old parts taken from elsewhere.  That things are fixed at least three times before being discarded. 

Checked out some of the classrooms during class, this being only the third week since school started, so a lot of review is being done.  Especially in Profe Heyser’s math class.

We also got a peak at the changes taking place in the residence that are happening.  Because the number of residential students has reduced over the years, it is the plan to make this building into an apartment, rather than a dormitory. With living areas, and kitchen on the main floor and bedrooms upstairs, creating more of a family home than a residential building. 

New libary!

                                                                          After dinner was our first night of activities and games with the 21 residents.  THe Chinese Checkers and the Uno games got pretty loud!  It is a privilege to be with these young men.
