First off these pictures are of (1st one) is of Sonya and her little amigo!! The (2nd one) is of Taylor and Izra, my little amigo!! Today we went to the second largest orphanage in Honduras. It is called Orphanage Emmanuel. We got there at about 11 AM this morning. We got to play with the kids on the playground that they have on campus! They have a very nice campus and the ages range from 5 to 18. Taylor hung out with a little boy who's name was Izra. Alot of them were crying when we left because they have no parents.
For lunch we had delicious fish, beans, rice, tater
salad, and scrumptious chicken. After lunch we went on a tour through the campus. We saw lots of interesting things. There was a place where kids made bricks and they were sold for profits. There was a very interesting plant there. Everytime you touch the plant it would close up on itself. Whoa! We saw cattle, nasty pigs, chickens, and lots of land. The orphanage was 950 acres. It was very self-sufficient as the children took care of most everything. They were also taught very useful skills that would help them after they left the orphanage. They were taught from a variety of things such as: car maintenance, farming, and the girls learn useful tactics on how to take care of their houses and families!Over all today was a great day and we all had a great time with the kids and learned alot! See ya'll on Sunday!!!!! Posted by Wes Menhinick and Taylor Smith!!!
