Nueva Esperanza Orphanage

Our team will be traveling to Honduras through Buckner International from February 21st through February 24th. We will be going to Nueva Esperanza ("A New Hope"), which is a government-run orphanage located in San Pedro Sula. It is the first point of placement for orphaned or abandoned children ages birth through 14 years. There are roughly 134 children (this number fluctuates as children are transferred in and out), 35 of which are babies. There are only 4 workers to help care for all of these children.

Washers and dryers
Cold water fountains
Diapers and wipes
Formula & powdered milk
Daily snacks for the children (juice/milk, cookies, fruit)
Medicine
Hygiene supplies
Cribs
Bed sheets/blankets
Pajamas
Hair accessories

Thanks to our fellow members of Northlake Baptist Church as well as our family and friends who have donated several of these items. We have also received monetary donations for us to buy even more upon our arrival. We have had many prayers answered over the past several months and have seen the Lord work in countless ways. This trip would not be possible without the prayers and support of others. Thank you for visiting this blog and continuing to pray for our team, as well as the children and workers of Nueva Esperanza.
