As a result of the political unrest in Honduras in 2009, most of the capital expenditure projects planned for the school for the past 12 months were put on hold.  However, now that the presidential elections have taken place and stability is returning, FOH is moving forward with project planning and fund raising.  Here are some of the projects that we are working towards.....

2011 Projects:

• Building another classroom
• Continued provision of a daily nutritious meal to the students
• Building a sheltered eating area for the students, complete with concrete benches for the children to sit on while they eat their lunch (they currently sit on the ground)
• Creating an English/Spanish school library
• Providing a safe, dedicated community water supply
• Building a much needed office and administration area for the teachers
• Providing yearly school supplies
• Assisting with the purchase of shoes and school uniforms for students in need
• Security fencing for the perimeter of the school grounds
• On-going maintenance and upgrading of the existing school buildings

If you would like to contribute funds to assist with these and other ongoing projects in Honduras, please refer to our "Make a Donation" page on this website.
