| In Honduras, February
means one thing: the start of the new school year! Our
young men were extremely excited to start both their formal classes
and the opportunity to learn carpentry and welding in the technical
school. Above: our third-through-sixth graders get ready
for their first day in the tech school! Below: Fourth-graders Nelson, Luis and Axel pay attention to their science classes during the first week of school! |
