Faith Home San Pedro Sula, Honduras 2011

Few things are as rewarding as seeing the success of people who
are trying to help themselves. The house parents at Faith Home
garden with enthusiasm and the results show.


This is the fall corn harvest in October 2010, pretty good
since they also ate a lot of the corn off the cob already .
Also that year they received their new roto tiller for their
tractor.


This was their goal, to rip out all the bermuda type sod and
turn this space into a garden. Roto till it several times and
then the kids help pick up the roots and grass tangles.


This is the summer of 2011. When I show these pictures to
folks the response is always "WOW. " And this was done by
the house parents and the kids of Faith Home. There is no
way I can express how this picture blesses my heart.
