On Saturday, we held a Bingo with the local community to raise funds for El Hogar.

So many people pitched in to make the event happen, from getting prizes donated, to making food to sell, to helping with logistics, to selling tickets. It was truly a team effort! Held in the auditorium at el Catedral Santa María, we had over 500 people attend!

As part of their formation outside of the classroom, a group of high school students, under the guidance of their counsellors, put together an anti-bullying campaign to educate themselves and their peers on how to make their school a safe place for everyone.

"In the face of bullying, be the hero, not the villain."

Last week we welcomed back our first team since 2019 as part of our newly imagined visitor’s program, El Hogar Connects. Eight people from @ccdenverco spent five days with us in #Honduras to #learn from and #connect with our #staff, our #students and their #families, visiting our #community #partners and participating in cultural activities. They had a #transformational experience themselves and will share about the transformational work at El Hogar in their communities back home.

On Friday, our 4th, 5th and 6th Grade classes spent a morning walking to and in Parque Cerro Juana Laínez in downtown Tegucigalpa to commemorate World Environment Day. We had three teachers and 15 parent chaperones who enjoyed being among the trees and see the view of the city from up high, but were also happy to have a ride back to school after walking over 8 kilometres!
