Carol in Honduras, the sequel

Carol from Canada arrived on Saturday evening here in Copán Ruinas.  She is here for around 10 days promoting health care among other things.  Tomorrow she and Carol (Dobbe) will be going to one of the kindergartens to give fun health some presentations to a few classes.

She has begun her daily blog again while she is here: http://carol.hogarangelitosfelices.com/
Its worth reading, and certainly has more information than I seem to write!

A couple of updates:

  • The girls from NZ unfortunately are leaving in a couple of weeks.
  • Heidi the baby is doing much better – thank you very much to the people who have donated money to help support her health. (Carol has a photo of her on her blog)
  • We had another earthquake last night.
  • Carol Dobbe arrived last Monday, she is enjoying herself.
  • My mint plant seems to be looking a little un-healthy, whats wrong?  I thought mint grows like a weed.

Bake sale

Ms Younge and her class

Ms Younge and her class

Ms Younge and her class from Dalton School in New York City had a bake sale last week to raise money for the orphanage.  They managed to raise a huge US$300.26 (it actually worked out to be NZD$519.91 – which was more than expected).  This will be a huge help for the kids, and is greatly appreciated.

There is more information on their class blog: http://blogs.dalton.org/younge/

Thank you Younge House!
