Education

In Puerto Lempira, the remote area of Honduras where we live and work, most students have no realistic opportunity or expectation to finish school past the 6th grade. For those who finish elementary, the option for poor students is an under-funded, over-crowded school that is a haven for illegal drug activity. The only consistent, full-time option is private high school which is available only to the wealthy.

It is an extremely rare thing for a poor student to be able to achieve a high school diploma. University is almost unheard of for Miskito children.

Reach Out Honduras, Inc. has a sponsorship program which allows families and individuals from the US to partner with worthy students who desire to complete their high school education, but cannot financially afford to do so. Praise God that He provided sponsors for 6 high school students for the 2011 Honduran school year.

For 2012, sponsors are providing scholarships for 7 local high school students and 2 college/medical school students.

For 2012, we also coordinated sending 16 Miskito students to a Christian boarding school. ROH is providing assistance to many of these students for their tuition, school supplies, uniforms and basic needs.

Long-Term Future Vision is a Reach Out Honduras Christian, middle and high school right here in Puerto Lempira. Pray with us as God unfolds His direction to the Board of Reach Out Honduras and to donors who will partner to make this vision a reality.
