BOOK DONATION - Amor Fe y Esperanza (AFE) is an
organization located on the outskirts of Tegucigalpa that has been rescuing
children from the garbage dump and breaking the cycle of poverty in their
lives. AFE is in the process of furnishing its library. We are asking for any
new or used Spanish books (children’s books, novels, nonfiction, encyclopedias
etc.) you might have and that you would like to donate to the AFE library. These books can be brought and given to your
homeroom teacher. If you would like more
information about AFE, please visit their website at www.afehonduras.org
NPH GIVING TREE - Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos (NPH) is an
international organization that takes in abandoned and orphaned children,
providing a home, education, and love.
Here in Honduras, the NPH organization provides for over 500 children in
at large ranch near La Venta and home in Tegucigalpa for severely handicapped
children. While many children at the
ranch have aunts, uncles, or grandparents that come to visit them and can
provide some Christmas gifts, some children at a ranch have no family to
visit. It is these children, whom we
would like to provide for this Christmas.
On the second floor of the secondary building, a NPH Giving Tree will be
set up. If you wish to participate,
choose a paper tree that has a child’s information about his/her size for shoes
or socks. Purchase the new item and
return it to Mrs. Agurcia’s Room (Rm. 7) by Friday, December 5th, with the tree
tag taped to it. As well, there are tree
tags for basic food items that will be donated to the orphanage. Cash donations will also be accepted to
provide shoes and socks for children whose tags were not selected. Thank you for giving this Christmas!
