Graduation!


This time of year is a great time of celebration for all students in Honduras, the end of school. Some are moving up to a new grade or school. Some are graduating High School looking forward to college or beginning life without school. Others are graduating the sixth grade and hoping for a scholarship. See, in Honduras they have to pay to attend secondary school. Like the kids in this picture, most do not have the ability to pay. For as little as twenty-five dollars a month a sponsor can help a child continue in school and give them a Hope and a Future. For more information, please email me at dean@heavensreach.org.

lights! yes please......


I find myself thinking back to when I called the US home. It was very predictable. turn the faucet and water...... turn the knob and gas lit....... flip the switch and wallaaaa.... light...... But here you never know when you will have either of these. Today we had electricity when I left the house in the three minutes it takes to get to the farm the electricity went away. The last time it was out for three days. This time it was only out for seven hours. Thank God for the little things.......

Living in slow motion!


Living in Honduras is sometimes living in slow motion. Time is one thing that is not worth much here. Not to say that it doesn’t matter it dose. They have not put a price tag on time like the US has. Here time spent building friendship is beyond a price. It is invaluable. Time with family is invaluable. In the US time is money. Here time is people, relationship. It is nice to think that people and relationship is worth more than money.

They are life.
