Day 3, March 16 - Email from Molly Joseph




Buenos noches from the Gals in Honduras! This is Molly Joseph typing tonight`s email.

Today was a busy and fun filled day for all of us. After waking up bright and early at 6 AM, we went to have the morning devotional with the kids. After a breakfast of scrambled eggs and beans (again), we met with Claudia, the Director of El Hogar. She filled us in on the mission of El Hogar and how she considers all of the kids "her children".

Some members of El Hogar`s newest class were introduced to us, with Claudia telling their very moving stories; there was not a dry eye in the house. Later this morning, we all went "back to school" with the children. We observed Spanish, Math, Social Studies, Science and we interacted with the first grade class.

This afternoon after lunch, we all got to work. Raul (Claudia`s husband) showed us the work that needed to be done in the big, new gorgeous dormitory. We all donned our surgeon`s maskes and got to work sanding, painting, and cleaning the sceond floor of the dorm so the boys can move in as soon as possible!

After we got back to our lovely lodgings, we all took showers before our dinner of tortillas and beans (again). Tomorrow it is more painting and fixing up the dorms. We you all love and we are all thinking of our friends and family back home.

Until tomorrow,-- Molly Joseph
