This morning
the team had the pleasure of attending the Tejeras feeding and bible
study. Two AP students assisted Sandra
and Pastor Wilmer in conducting the program for 64 children. The Tejeras “community” is a group of
squatters’ huts alongside the main highway from San Pedro Sula through
Quimistan to Guatemala. Heavy trucks and
buses zoom up and down the road. The
plot of land used for the program is located just at the highway’s edge. The children walk along the side of the busy
road to come to the meeting place. After
the bible study was concluded the team assisted in feeding the children – most
likely their only hot meal of the day.
HAF also sponsors two other hot meal feedings during the week.
The afternoon
was spent with the Agape Promises children attending their weekly Sunday school
activities. The program is held at the El
Porvenir Kindergarten in Quimistan. The
children are split into two major groups by age. The younger children meet in one of the two classrooms
while the teenagers gather in a circle on the lawn. The little ones are very active and attentive
in their lessons; while the teenagers, as almost they universally do, had a great
discussion of the lesson presented.
After a hot meal the team enjoyed interacting with the children. Some 69 children were present. Forty-five of
the sponsored 50 AP students plus 24 additional friends and possible future AP students
were in attendance.
Tommy took time
to take individual pictures of all the AP sponsored children. A copy of each child’s picture will be given
to them and also sent on to their sponsor(s).
