So so so close!
It’s exactly 1 month until I arrive in Honduras! I’m extremely excited. I’ll be volunteering in an orphanage in San Pedro Sula called Nueva Esperanza(“New Hope” in English) which is home to about 120 kids. I’m going with Show Hope who is partnering with Buckner International. I absolutely can’t wait to get there! I’ll be in Honduras from July 4th-11th and even though that’s not a very long time, I believe it’s enough to reach out to children and show them love. I also have a strong feeling that I’m going to learn a lot on this trip. I’ve wanted to volunteer in an orphanage ever since I visited my first orphanage in China when my family adopted my brother from there. Everything fell into place so perfectly for this trip and at exactly the best time. The only thing that isn’t in place yet is the funding. This trip is going to cost about $1,700 total which includes round trip airfare, all meals, in country transportation, activities, and accommodations. But…I just don’t have enough yet. Actually, I’m pretty far from having enough. If anyone is able to offer something to help this trip happen, I’m asking for you to help. In addition to the trip costs, I have to still buy orphanage donations for the children and the activities we’re going to be doing with them. Even $5 brings me one step closer to San Pedro Sula and it’s many beautiful, but needy children. I’m listing my address at the end of this blog in case anyone can send a check or money to help me. If you would like to call me to find out more, my cell phone # is (443)254-6527. Or you can contact my trip coordinator through Buckner, Julie Schiefer jschiefer@buckner.org
Finally, I just want to share 3 videos with you.
These 2 videos were created by Show Hope. They don’t specifically feature Honduras, but show just how important each and every child in this world is and how important it is that we help. It’s the whole purpose of this organization and myself to bring love and hope to the world’s orphans.

This last video features mission trips in Guatemala and Honduras through Buckner International. Towards the end of the video you can actually see Nueva Esperanza, the orphanage I’ll be working with!
Thanks for reading everyone. Please consider donating whatever you can and also, consider helping these children by volunteering, praying, sponsoring!
