Project Report | Aug 29, 2025
Successful Beginning of 2025 School Year

Wow, another busy, but very exciting year for the scholarship program.  I was just in Honduras in January and had the opportunity to see the impact the scholarship program is having in these remote communities.  Many awards and diplomas for academic excellence were displayed in students' homes as they had been celebrating graduations and end-of-year  school activities.  Many of the students in our program are academically gifted but economically disadvantaged. Without the scholarship program, they would likely be working in the fields and doing housekeeping jobs. It made me so happy to see their proud faces and celebrate their accomplishments.  

Each one of them has a story to tell, but in the midst of their daily struggles, they are willing to give their best in school. They appreciate your generosity and trust in them.  Your donation is not only providing school supplies and uniforms, but you are also giving them hope, motivation, leadership and responsibility. They all dream of obtaining a higher education and eventually holding professional jobs to support themselves and their families.  Thank you for believing in this program and helping make dreams come true. The students truly appreciate your generosity.

2024 Highlights and Accomplishments:

  • Provided school supplies, uniforms, internet access, transportation, lunch, graduation and project fees to our students

  • Helped 130 students from 5 remote communities

  • Sponsored 3 academically gifted students to attend the university

  • 20 students graduated from 5 different high schools in the area with degrees in business administration, information technology, electricity and community development

  • Multiple scholarship students graduated at the top of their class

  • Increased student participation in different competitions and extracurricular activities

  • All donations go straight to Honduras with no U.S. overhead expenses.
