Dear Friends and Family of the Women of Epiphany Mission Team,
Now, you have heard about each day of our fabulous trip to Honduras and some of you have seen the pictures and heard stories in person. It was a very, very moving experience for each of us in addition tobeing amazingly fun. It is hard to imagine 15 people getting along sowell and working together so perfectly for eight straight days, but it truly did happen. I, personally, felt the presence of the Holy Spirit throughout this incredible journey!
Perhaps some of you have been inspired by our pictures and stories to want to help the work of this incredible ministry called El Hogar. The possibilities are endless! First of all, there are a variety ofways to sponsor a specific child. Click here for the details:http://elhogar.org/sponsor.htm. In addition to the information you will receive when you become a sponsor, at least one of us will very likely be able to provide first hand stories and pictures of the child you are given to sponsor.
Also, there is one specific "loose end" from our trip where you mightbe able to help. That is the empty computer room at the Technical Institute.
As you can see from the pictures below, it is a beautiful, brand new room with wiring and outlets for 10 computers, plus space for the students to learn computer mechanics and repair. The only thing this bright space is missing is the computers themselves.
The computers at El Hogar (where we were living) were such a blessing to us and to you since they allowed us to communicate regularly with each of you every day during the trip. Perhaps it would be a fitting way to express our mutual gratitude to collect whatever funds anyone might like to donate to help buy computers for the Technical Institute. Raul says he has a way in Honduras to purchase new top notch Dell Computers for $300 each. That means that $3,000 would outfit this lab for the students at the Technical Institute!
Many of you have contributed and continue to contribute to El HogarMinistries in a variety of ways. However, if anyone wants to do something specific in response to our trip, here is your chance! To make a contribution to the computer lab, you can write a check to:
El Hogar Ministries -- Memo: Institute computer lab, and mail it to
El Hogar Ministries
70 Church Street
Winchester, MA 01890
It was my pleasure to organize the daily email messages to you, and I hope you enjoyed receiving them as much as we enjoyed living, writing and sending them to you. We hope you will forever hold each school in your hearts and prayers: El Hogar -- Home of Love and Hope, TheEpiscopal Agricultural School and Farm, and St. Mary's TechnicalInstitute. Thank you again for the love and support that allowed the15 of us to make this amazing journey!
