What's Next?
In February 2025, we will be delivering school supplies to children and teachers in the villages where PEH serves and builds relationships. We anticipate distributing 40 Teacher Bags and 1000 bags to children and youth.
School Supply Distribution
The Center
The training center is a project that Honduras Evangelical Association is resurrecting. Once known as the agricultural center in Cabanas, the center is now being used for bible studies. There are also plans to continue technical training at the center as God leads. HEA is one of our partners, and we have come alonside them to say, "How can we help you with God's vision?" We will continue to support HEA and the Training Center Project as God leads. We know that God wants us to continue to help in rennavating classrooms and buildings. In addition, He is calling Mrs. Teresa to help with training children's pastors and teachers. God is definitely on the move! We will continue to pray and seek God's timing and plans for how we will partner with HEA at the Training Center.
Miramar
The school in Miramar is way up the mountain past Cabanas and the Center. This is one of the first schools that we visited. The teacher is so dedicated to the children and the community. They have two buildings and 97 children. However, one of the buildings is an adobe building that is deteriorating. The building currently holds 20 Kinder children in a very small space that used to be the kitchen. The children are packed in the room like sardines, and there is no space to move. The rest of the building can not be used as it is not safe. The other 77 children, in grades 1 through 6, are all being taught in one room. God's plan is to completely remove the building that is not safe. Another building will be constructed, and it will be a bigger than the building that was built at San Miguel. A total of three classrooms will be able to be constructed. This will allow the 97 students to be divided by grades, which will allow for more effective teaching and more space for the teacher and children. The walls of the new building will also be moveable so that the building can be used for many purposes and adapt to the needs of the school. In addition, the Mayor of Cabanas, Jose Alcalde, and the community will be assisting us in building the new building We are now praying for God's provision for finances. The estimated cost of this project is $9,000.00.
San Isidro
God's timing and plans are always perfect. It is with great joy that the PEH Board prayerfully voted in August of 2024 to add another community where PEH will seek to build relationships. Allison visited the school in during the summer, when a part of a medical team with HEA. The community already has a special place in her heart. There is no doubt that her being on the medical team and visiting the community was all a part of God's plan for PEH. In February of 2025, the children and teachers will receive school supplies. In addition, we are prayerfuly considering what work projects God wants PEH to complete in San Isidro in 2025.
