Taking our kids to an Orphanage in Honduras

The orphanage in Honduras Hogar de ninos Tierra Santa in La Paz, Honduras

my husband had been visiting while he was deployed down there let us bring our entire family.  Before we went we did not know if they would let the kids come with us.  Our kids, us, and other volunteers from the base served food, handed out clothes and toys and just hung out with them.  I even got to paint a few little girls nails!

We served the kids chili and sandwiches. 

Like everywhere in the country there were lots of dogs.  Our little boy was smitten with a little puppy they had.
I had brought clothes our kids had out grown, toys, hygiene, and art supplies to pass out to the kids.  I wish I had brought more.  I felt bad that I didn't have bigger clothes for the older kids.
The almost two hours we spent there went by to fast.  It was sad to leave knowing how much more they need.

Orphanage in Honduras

Hogar de ninos Tierra Santa in La Paz, Honduras

One of the unique things about being deployed in Central America is the opportunity to help. Paul, my husband gets to visit an orphanage in La Paz, Honduras twice a month.  La Paz is near Comayagua. I asked him to take a lot of pictures so I could share them. He said it was an incredible experience. He has seen at least 40 kids living there.  One Sunday they had a big water fight with them. He and another guy filled up 500 water balloons.

I am in the process of trying to find a good website for this orphanage and an address.  As of now I have not and will update this when I am able. 

If you are interested in sending things to them I can get you my husband's address and he can take it over.  I know that they are in need of personal hygiene products, especially deodorant.
