This blog is intended to keep people informed about our efforts to begin a home for children in rural Honduras. Since 2006 we've been living in the Cangrejal River Valley on the Northern coast of Honduras.
Unicef, the branch of the United Nations dedicated to helping children, estimates that there are 170,000 children in Honduras who they consider to be orphaned or abandoned. Most of these are children who are abandoned by their parents. Our goal is to help as many of these children as we can.
In December of 2007, Give Hope 2 Kids purchased 100 acres in the Cangrejal Valley for the purpose of starting a home to care for orphaned and abandoned children. Since that time we've planted 10 acres of Mahogany trees, installed our own water supply, which entailed running more than one half mile of pvc pipe, connected electricity to the property, built the first two homes for children, and planted more than three hundred fruit trees.
As of Summer 2010, we are still waiting for the government's permission to take in children. In the meantime we are reaching out to our community by teaching English in our local elementary school, continuing to develop the property in preparation to take in children, and pursuing government permission to take in children.
Check here for the most recent developments in our efforts to make a difference in our community and the lives of orphaned and abandoned kids.

Hi, my name is Katie. I am using chickens to help our Rainbows to connect to you all and help you buy chickens. Now that I have found this site I will show the kids your kids so they can connect even more.
Thank you for your ministry.
