Honduras

God has definitly given me a heart for the youth on the trash dumps in Honduras since I spent time there for a missions trip. I have been thinking of different ideas to eventually do there one day. I have two ideas so far..

On site activities.
-One thought that came to mind was to set up some sort of program to take onto the dumps daily or every few days. The program would be created for the children and youth to distract them from the chaos of the dumps for a few hours. We would play games, give them food, maybe teach them a little...basically try to give them some joy and education while stuck on the dump. There is a lot more I would like to do with this but I have to look more into it first.

Nearby Orphanage/Hangout:
-This would either be a place to house the children and orphans of the dump until they are old enough to be on their own successfully or are adopted. It may also be a place that all the kids know they are welcome at to get some food or shelter for a few days..just take a break from their lives. There would be games to play, small "sunday school" type things, worship places, counselers, etc.

Hopefully either of these could work out one day. I just have to keep pursuing God and His plans.
