Rotary runs Marathon!

86184aca-e8a1-41e2-8395-be4c39958799Rotary Winterswijk, eastern Netherlands, has again welcomed Homeless Child director Bas Wiersma as their guest on January 11. This service club has been supporting us relentlessly for the past four years and one of their members spends two months each year to volunteer with the children in Honduras.

Some Rotary members have walked the New York marathon in November 2007 and thanks to their enormous efforts they have not only made the finish, they have also collected 26.200 euro with fund raising activities. The money was equally divided between Homeless Child and a local hospice: De Lelie.

We are profoundly grateful to all Rotary members for their continued efforts to support us and to help offer the poorest, most neglected children of El Progreso, Honduras, a chance of a worthy future. Our deepest thanks of course are for the runners themselves!

Vrouwen van Nu: Thank you!

On January 3, the year had only just begun, Dutch women’s organization “Vrouwen van Nu” decided to hand us a generous donation. Ever since Arjan Hordijk visited Honduras in 2007, he has been working for us relentlessly and effortlessly. It is thanks to him that the women decided so enthusiastically to send us their gift. Thank you!
