Children of Love Foundation

Early get up with roosters crowing, dogs barking and no electricity!!

The children are all neatly dressed with their hair combed and busy with the chores, sweeping the grounds, cleaning the toilets, feeding the chickens and watering the plants.Two of the older boys acted as guides and bodyguards for two St. Luke's early morning runners. They really enjoyed their run through the countryside.

Their public school is on Easter break so it's a perfect time for us to have Vacation Bible School. We had 111 children participating this morning, and many of their mothers many with infants attended the women's bible study.

Major activity this morning! With a variety of arts and crafts,beautiful singing, reciting and with the temperature climbing we had a blast with tick-n-tator water balloons. Delicious lunch was served to almost two hundred people. What a production!

Before and after these events our group was involved in setting up crafts and games. Cutting, pasting which so many of you have done at local St Luke's VBS.

At 2.30 some of us went on a forty five minute adventurous drive up the mountains to visit a coffee and banana plantation which supplies food and coffee to the children. Honduras is very picturesque!

When we arrived back we were surprised to see that Jeremy had cut off his beard! And he had been growing his beard for over a year!!!
The crew that remained at the foundation had started to cook food on a barbecue for our group and children. As always, there was much laughter and singing.

The night was topped off by finalizing the bottle candles we would use on Easter morning. 330 AM will come soon.
