Memory Makers goes to Honduras

For nearly six years Memory Makers Event Planning has sponsored a child in Honduras through Compassion International. Recently, I had the opportunity to visit with Nelson, his mom and his tutor. It was such a blessing to finally meet this sweet young man. He lives in extreme poverty in one of the most dangerous areas in the world in a one-room home without running water with his parents, two siblings, grandmother and five (yes, five) uncles.

As a sponsored child, Nelson is able to attend school and to receive at least one healthy meal and snack each day. He and his siblings have access to medical and dental care, loving mentors and supporters and other resources. He can grow up healthy and educated, equipped with the tools to enable him to break the cycle of generational poverty so prevalent in his country.

You or your business may want to consider sponsoring a needy child in an undeveloped or underdeveloped area of the world. For only about $40 a month, you can change lives for generations to come.
