So today we had a great second day in Honduras. We woke up this morning and ate yet again another fabulous breakfast prepared by Isabel. We then headed over to the Nutritional Center that is walking distance away from the Mama House. There, we helped out with various things that needed to be done in preparation for our upcoming medical brigade that starts tomorrow. Several people helped out with sorting out suitcases and organizing supplies. Together with all our supplies we were able to put together 60 baby packs total, 100 school packs and one extra large suitcase of various dental supplies!! While all this was going on the other half of our group helped out with "remodeling" around the Nutritional Center. We scraped sanded and painted the primed almost the entire porch! All of these activities occurred during took up the entire morning, which went by extremely fast! Our afternoon was also equally enjoyable. We took a trip to a waterfall. It was an excellent picture opportunity and a good way to take in the beautiful scenery of Honduras.

Arriving in Honduras
We arrived safely into San Pedro Sula, Honduras around 1:30...3:30 PA time. The weather was 93 degrees with humidity. Mary and Felix were there to greet us. The internet is very spotty but we will do our best to keep everyone updated! The drive to San Francisco de Yojoa was very bumpy but we arrived safely. We are glad to be here and are looking forward to tomorrow.

Packing Up
It truly "takes a village" to embark on a journey such as this. We could not have done it without the support of so many thoughtful and giving family, friends and neighbors. We want to to give a heartfelt thank you to all those who have donated to our trip and especially to the following:
Blessed Virgin Mary Church CCD Program
LKL Images
Supplee Presbyterian Church
Dr. Blankenhorn & Staff in Kutztown, PA
We met to packup our donation suitcases on Tuesday and will end up with 9-10 large (50lb) suitcases to donate to the people of Honduras. That is roughly 450lbs worth of supplies. Of the many generous supplies donated we collected baby blankets, clothes, diapers, hats, shoes, school kit items, toothbrushes, baby toys, and medications.
We couldn't have done it without you!
THANK YOU!
Laura, Adrienne, Marianne, Sharon, Beth, Katelyn & Amanda.
16 days till we leave and counting down.....
