June COVID Update

We have adapted to many changes in daily life because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. We are thankful for the many ways that we are blessed, and are pleased to update you on the following:

  • The Diocese of Trujillo plans to begin opening soon; public Mass for a maximum of 40 people is planned to begin in the next couple weeks

  • Businesses are beginning to open up and restrictions are loosening; banks, hardware stores, and the municipality are now open regularly

  • Our house parents and staff have continued to provide excellent and stable care to our children by continuing to remain on-site and make personal sacrifices to comply with quarantine and social distancing recommendations

  • Our children continue receiving remote educational support with assignments via WhatsApp from their teachers

  • Our missionary community supports the remote instruction daily from 9 - 11 am in the homes

  • Our high school students receive tele-education in the computer lab via Zoom with their teacher

  • Dr. Julio and our clinical team offer remote mental and physical health care to our children by supporting our missionary nurse

  • We continue to provide weekly food provisions to many neighbors; your donations and the donations of many Honduran organizations are ensuring that those most in need receive food and necessities.

Once again, thank you all for your continued support during this time. We are keeping you in prayer and ask for your continued prayers for our children, staff, neighbors, and all in our community!
