Sperro Mission Team
We welcomed new friends from Toronto, Canada this weekend. TheSperro Group, led by Greg O'Rio, is here to help with the construction projects on campus. They've also brought many much-needed items for our children. Thank you friends!
Our campus was blessed by a mission team from the Mend a Child Foundation lead by Dr. Tom and Calle Wieg last week. During their visit they constructed a sidewalk from the Children's Home to the Chapel & main kitchen. This special proyect was made to facilitate the mobility of Jenny - who uses a leg braces and a walker, and Lily - who uses a wheel chair to get around. The team also worked on the Admin/Temp Clinic building by pouring concrete for an external sidewalk and the bathrooms for the outclinic patients. It was a great experience for the children to have this group of old friends and "extended family" visiting our Home again.
Each year this group made up of youth and their families bring great joy and happiness to our children who love their company. The group, led by Dr. Thomas Wieg, has become a very special part of the PAHS family. This youth group from Chico and Oakhurst California came to our campus to improve the lives of our children and lighten the load of our staff. The group completed several projects one of which was a ramp so that wheelchair-bound children, can get in and out of the Children’s Home.
A former long-term volunteer, Meranda Beerman, had the vision of having a short video made to tell the story of our work in Honduras. With the support of family and friends she raised the necessary funds to have producer, Bryan Fellows, come to our campus and conduct interviews and take video of daily life on campus. We are very grateful and look forward to be able to tell more people about the important work being done here with the children and the families and communities they come from.
Brad Alcorn organized a Medical Team made up of physicians and nurses to come deliver care to our area and they chose to start their week of health care services with our campus community. They are working in conjunction with our nurses as well as partnering with the organization Heart for Honduras. We are grateful for the professional care and generous spirit of this team!
We are very grateful for a wonderful donation made possible by Reach Out Orphanages Ministry, directed by Jorge and Tara García. Together with a few friends they fitted each child and teenager with a new pair of black Toms shoes (Shoes for a Better Tomorrow). The children received this gift with happiness, gratitude and marveled at the novelty of them.
It was a joy to have with us once again our friends Paul and Kay Newby, who pastor the Assembly of God Church in Sulphur Springs, Texas. This is the Newby’s third trip to our campus. They organized a small group of friends and family named Mercy in Motion. This group put up lovely curtains in our Casita Feliz, and they also made several maintenance repairs and improvements for greater comfort and ease of care delivery. They put down tile in our Guest House and handed out food in poor communities as well. We are very grateful for the love and support they brought to our campus.

The Rotary Club of Lions, based in San Pedro Sula and through their ophthalmologic Hospital conducted a brigade in the PAHS' Campus to serve more than one hundred people, most of them elderly people who receive a test and lenses at a very low cost. Our children and youth also received attention, and some of them got their first pair of glasses. We thank the young Rotarians for their willingness and cooperation in our efforts to bring health to the needy.
