Mas Pueblos

So I have finally figured out which kids to sit by during meals....The little ones that can't eat everything on their plate and then give it to me....my new best friends. :) Luckily I love eating rice, beans, and tortillas because again, that is seriously all they eat here.  Even one of the drinks they serve is rice blended with water and sugar.  Although the other day for breakfast we did have some type of corn flakes and fruit loops in HOT milk....and if ur wondering, yes, i now know what barf tastes like.  Needless to say, my skittle that I have for dessert every night never seems to disappoint.  Thank you Sarah Mans.  :)
Anywho! Another group of women came down to help at some more of the nearby villages.  Lucky for me, they let me join.  :)  We were able to take rice, beans, salt, soap, sandals, and clothes to 30 families in the village of Mt.Olive.

The families from the village of Mt.Olive were very grateful for everything.... AND they were most definitely in need of anything and everything we had for them.

I decided this girl would want another all pink outfit :)

   One of the last little kids I saw was this tiny lil naked boy.  He was probably about 3 years old and ended up fitting into clothes that were for 18 month old babies.

When I wuz helping him get dressed, I thought I wuz dressing a toothpick he was so little!

 The following day we took some of the kids from the orphanage up to to their home villages to see their families.  I was told it would be about 6 hour roundtrip drive.  I figured not too bad, so decided to go.  I should have realized they were telling me in Honduran time...because 11.5 hours later we finally arrived back home. I  also later found out that for one of the kids they don't even know where his real family is.  The village we went to visit was where his friends live, but he refers to them as his family.  Although spending almost 12 hours in the car was not really what I had in mind, seeing the kids with their families wuz definitely worth it.  :)

I also found out an organization called Soles4Souls (an organization that distributes shoes to poor countries) was actually going to be in El, Progresso while I was here.  I went to a shoe donation with them at a home for boys who are taken right from the streets.  We did a lot of shoe fittings for the guys and a lot of the shoes were actually pretty sweet. Nikes, New Balances, Toms, and Tony Hawks.  However, if the guys didn't like the style of the shoe they were trying on, they would say it didn't fit.  We didn't have enough shoes or sizes for them to picky so pretty sure I was telling this guy if he doesn't like the style and it fits, tough luck buddy.

And now......vacation time!  Time to check out this lovely lil country of Honduras...  :)
