In Honduras they have a big celebration when a girl turns 15.  In 2018 Proyecto Manuelito had 4 girls turn 15.  We were able to raise funds to help provide a beautiful party and party dress for the girls. 

Every Christmas Hope Teams raises funds to purchase each child a new pair of shoes.  This has been a huge success for several years.  

Proyecto Manuelito has opened their doors to about 98 children from the community to attend school. These are children that would not be able to attend a public school due to the cost. The children are served lunch and for many it's their most nourshing meal of the day. Many Hope Teams donors give faithfully to this project. 

The kids loving going to the swim park and it's a real treat for them.  It entails a bus trip to Tegucigalpa, lunch at the park and a full day of fun!  This trip was done in December with the Christmas Team and it also included visiting a Christmas Light Display that was amazing and a first for the kids. We're thankful when donors see the value of a good time!

With the help of very generous donors we were able to  set up a sewing class.  This included 6 sewing machines, tables & chairs and sewing supplies.  This is another trade that will be very helpful to have upon leaving the project.  The first class was offered to adults living in Talanga.  Pictured is the first graduating class!

Denis Marcello was selected to attend school at El Sembrador and we were able to pay his full tuition.  El Sembrador is a WGM Project and is also known as the "farm school".  Denis Marcello is doing very well and he will receive an excellant education there.
