El Camino Bilingual School

El Camino Bilingual School is the school that was started by Hospital Loma de Luz founders Jeff and Rosanne McKenney.  It is just another way they are trying to reach and help the people on the coast of Northern Honduras.  The school started with Kindergarten and added first grade this year,  with the plans of adding a new grade each year as these children move ahead in their education.  However,  the school is in need of teachers for the coming school year.  The Honduran school year runs from February to November. Watch the following video to hear more about the school and the need.  Please share it with anyone you know that might be interested.

Summerlink Honduras 2013


Another video by the talented Elizabeth Pirkle that captures some of what we have been up to this summer.


This is the second summer we have been priviledged to host a group of college students for 6 weeks through a program at our home church called Summerlink.  With the help of these students we are able to do things that we couldn't do on our own.  We are thankful that our church, Crosspoint Clemson,  has allowed us to be a part of this program and are blessed by the lives it is touching here in Honduras.  
One thing we began this year were English classes.  We are excited to see the impact this will have on the lives of those students involved.  Our hope is to have refresher courses throughout the year so the students won't forget the things they learned between now and next summer.  We already have teams schedules to come late December and late January,  but would also like to have a couple more come in early and late spring.  Teaching the classes wouldn't be hard and could be done by just about any type of team.  The material will be provided and all the teaching is done in English.  If you have a group that might be interested let us know.
