Motivated, capable students from poor families should have equal access to education beyond the 6th grade, regardless of their ability to pay
All children, but especially children under two whose neuro-cognitive development is most at risk, should have adequate nutrition through evidence based nutritional supplementation and education.
Honduran local laborers have build the clinic. US electricians and construction crews have worked with the Hondurans in areas they are not familiar.
We need all type of volunteers for completion of the clinic and support buildings. We have groups traveling to Honduras starting in Oct, 2008. We need skilled and unskilled workers to do electrical, carpentry, and general construction jobs. Please contact Art Ranz for more info. Come with us for a hard working and fulfilling experience helping the people of Honduras.
