I live in a country that struggles with extreme poverty. With 48.3% of Hondurans living below the poverty line, many struggle to find hope and feel trapped in their poverty. More than half the population are children, often living in abject poverty.

As the director of the Schools of Hope, I, along with my team, minister in the public schools in our district. We teach Bible classes, while providing nutritional food support to the students, giving us the opportunity to share with over 8,500 children! I also oversee our ChildCARE Plus sponsorships, which helps children achieve their academic goals and provides families a way out of poverty.

By partnering with local communities, we bring necessities like water and sanitation into their homes and schools. I also mentor local Hondurans to become leaders in our ministry programs, while equipping them to expand said programs.
