Mr. Guinness floated the idea of a trip to Honduras a year ago with his youth group in Pierrefonds. They stayed in the homes of local families and used an Anglican church for prayer and meals. The two main projects we assisted in were building a staircase and constructing sliding doors that could be used to section off part of the church for Sunday school. In the afternoons, they helped out at a children's day camp. God wanted our main focus to be with children.
Kids have to grow up so quickly there.
Honduran children are expected to pull their weight in the family by doing chores. There are no such things as playgrounds or arcades. Showers were cold, laundry was done by hand, and noisy roosters woke everyone in the early hours. But the hardships were worth it.
