A Day of Giving in Honduras

During our many tour stops today we had 2 very special opportunities to bring donations to support the local teams. During our tour of the nutrition center at Limon, we were able to donate new Kitchen Aid pots, pans, lids, and every imaginable utinsil. This generous gift was made possible thru my brother, Michael, that is an executive at Whirlpool. By the time we left Limon, the cheese cutter and garlic press were already being put to use. This new kitchen area has just been completed and supports meal preparation for the 80 children in the nutrition center and day care center.

In the afternoon we spent time purchasing hand made craft items made by the women of Casa Hogar Vida. The items available include jewlery, handbags and aprons. We were able to bring jewlery beads and stones found during a garage sale walk around our neighborhood, and material from Julies quilting projects. The ladies of the craft store told us that they had just run out of their last bit of material and did not know when they would be able to get more. . . . . Just a coincidence???
