What price an education?

Here in Honduras the price is about fifty dollars. We thought that the education in Honduras was free; however we have found out that there is a small fee and all the children are required to have a uniform, books and pencils or pens. Fifty dollars does not seem to be much money to most of us, but it is over a weeks pay for the lucky few who are employeed over here.
There are many children who have to stay home from school simply because their parents can not afford for them to go.

Joe had been working with the minister at Los Pinos and they had found about 20 kids that needed help with school fees and uniforms. We had the parents fill out an application. They agree that the child will regularly attend the local school and keep an average of 75%, that they would have a good attitude and would turn in their progress reports at the end of the year.

The following pictures are a few of the children whose lives will be changed by the generous support of so many of you. They have the opportunity to attend school and to get an education that will hopefully help them to support themselves in the future. Thank you so very much for your prayers and support for all of the work being done here.
