1. Hogar de Amor Children's Home. There were 25 children in our care. We take care of each child and provide them with their food, clothes, shoes, school supplies, books, vitamins, medical assistance, transportation to school activities, church, and excursions. We provided for their complete physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.2. Jungle School - Kindergarten to Tenth grade with 200 students, eleven classrooms and thirteen teachers, including computer and English teachers. The school is for low-income children. The children come from various communities in the Cangrejal river basin and surrounding villages. The children of the Hogar de Amor also attend this school. We offer a full lunch and a snack to each student on a weekly basis. We give them school supplies, uniforms, and shoes for those most in need, plus schoolbooks, toothbrushes, and toothpaste. We have a nurse who assists the school children with health checks, medications, daily vitamins, deworming medications, and maintains health records for each child. Medical exams are also offered to parents when they need it. 3. Peasant villages - La Bomba (Jutiapa, Atlntida), El Bonitillo (La Ceiba, Atlntida) and El Naranjo (El Naranjo, Atlantida).
