We woke up this morning to the welcome sight of blue skies after four days of non-stop rain from Tropical Storm Sara. We are relieved to share that our families are safe. While some experienced minor material damages, there were no serious injuries or significant losses.

During the storm, we were able to provide direct assistance with food and warm clothing and emotional support to our families. For some, there will be recovery and rebuilding ahead, but we will be there to support them. In times of uncertainty, the care and connection El Hogar offers go beyond material needs, fostering a sense of stability and hope. This intangible value is at the core of El Hogar’s mission—ensuring our community feels supported both physically and emotionally as we navigate challenges together.

Thank you for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers during this time. Your solidarity means so much to our community. #HondurasNGO

Tropical Storm Sara is hitting Honduras, bringing heavy rain and high winds that threaten many of our families living in vulnerable areas near rising rivers or in the path of potential mudslides. For those already struggling, the risk of losing their homes or access to clean water is devastating.

At El Hogar, we’re doing all we can to support our families, and connecting them with organizations on the ground that provide emergency relief. Please keep them in your prayers—for safety, resilience, and hope as they face this storm. Together, we can help them weather this challenge. 💙

Thanks to their teamwork, budgeting, year-long savings of 50 cents a week—and with the support of their families—the kids enjoyed a special outings with their class to celebrate the end of the school year. First grade went to a fast food restaurant, 4th and 5th grade had a BBQ at a water park, and 1st and 3rd grade had a picnic at a local park. 🌞🍟💦 Involving parents is so important to us; by joining in their children’s education, they’re empowering their kids and building brighter futures together!

📸 Yesterday, Profe Norma took our 12th graders downtown to a professional photo studio to get their graduation portraits taken, followed by a fun group photo in Central Park. Believe it or not there are a few serious ones who had to be convinced to smile for their picture, so their peers hid behind the curtain trying to make them laugh. It was an exciting afternoon as graduation - on November 29th! - gets closer and closer. Congrats to our soon-to-be graduates! 💙✨

Henry is joining Angie and three other Honduran youth on a trip to the FIRST Global Challenge, an Olympics-style international Robotics competition... in Greece!

In this video, Henry reflects on how his participation in the STEAM program has been a powerful learning experience, especially in overcoming the limitations he once associated with his background. Given the opportunity to participate, Henry has experienced significant personal growth, particularly in developing patience. He notes that while setbacks and failures can be frustrating, especially when things don’t work out immediately, the process has taught him that perseverance and learning from failure are essential steps to success.

The STEAM program has significantly changed Henry’s outlook on the future. Initially, he envisioned a path that did not include university, but this opportunity has opened new doors he once thought were beyond reach. Henry acknowledges that his background doesn’t limit what he can achieve, and that success is earned through personal merit. Reflecting on his time at El Hogar, Henry emphasizes the strong sense of brotherhood and solidarity among his peers. “When together, we think and act as one, making decisions collectively for the greater good.”

Angie will be joining Henry and three other Honduran youth on a trip to the FIRST Global Challenge, an Olympics-style international Robotics competition... in Greece!

In this video, Angie shares her transformative experience in the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) workshops, mentioning the invaluable support she’s received from mentors and classmates. Initially unfamiliar with the field, she quickly discovered how the process not only equipped her with technical skills, such as building a robot, but also helped her manage stress and adopt a more positive outlook on problem-solving. With guidance from their STEAM instructor, Ms. Ana, and her mantra 'Calm the Soul,' Angie has learned to navigate challenges with patience. This experience has expanded Angie’s desire to learn beyond traditional limits and inspired her to share her knowledge with others, understanding the importance of collective growth in the learning journey.

🌍 El Hogar Connects is a journey of learning and partnership 🤝

Last month, visitors from Saint Timothy's Episcopal Church in Cincinnati and Christ Church in Denver immersed themselves in the mission of El Hogar and the vibrant culture of Honduras. They engaged in meaningful discussions on education, development and caring for children from vulnerable circumstances and were able to experience the heart of our work firsthand.
By spending time with our students, sharing stories, and exchanging ideas, our visitors have become an integral part of our El Hogar community.

Together, we’re not just shaping brighter futures for our students but also fostering connections that will inspire change across borders.

Thank you to everyone who joined us this year on an El Hogar Connects trip, and we invite anyone who is interested in coming to El Hogar to visit our website for more information including available dates for 2025 trips. Visit www.elhogar.org/visit 🌟
