The Peche Children of Honduras

The children in the Peche village were delightful and fun to be around. They enjoyed playing games including soccer and frisbee. They also enjoyed having their pictures taken but many wouldn't smile for the camera. We realized that there were no mirrors in the village, and most of the people, including the children, didn't have a good idea of what they looked like.

Our New Friends

We built friendships with our Honduran hosts at Rancho el Paraiso, the Peche villagers, and with each other.

Our Work in Honduras

We worked side by side with the Peche villagers to build two latrines, lay cement floors in six houses, put roofs on six houses, replace chimneys in five houses, build a mud wall for one house, and have fun with the kids in Bible school.

Travels in Honduras

We flew into San Pedro Sula, and after spending the night at a nice hotel, spent the next day traveling to Tegucegalpa by motor bus and then to Jutacalpa by school bus. The roads were paved, but we quickly learned that the yellow center line was just a hint of a suggestion of where to drive. After spending the night in Jutacalpa, we continued on to Rancho el Paraiso on a mostly unpaved road with lots of potholes. While at the ranch, we rode in Land Cruisers -- 75 minutes each way to our village on a road that got bumpier as we went. Families in Honduras must use their fields for some myterious purpose because they turn their animals out on the roads. :-)
