These kids started with us in 7th grade and made it to their finish line. They began to dream and dream BIG… dreaming of things like university and a future. It soon became clear that in this isolated region, things like university were almost impossible to obtain. No admission exams here, no college preparation, nothing. To even take the admission exam requires a $250 round-trip across the rainforest to a bigger city.
Our Bridge to Life Program was born to help our alumni navigate these complexities. With these funds, we provide as much support to Abundant Life graduates as possible. This support looks like college scholarships, assistance with travel fees for exams, or help in purchasing starting materials and uniforms needed for a new job or program.
We currently have students in the Honduran Military and Police Academies, studying Computer Engineering, Architecture, English, Nursing, Tourism, and more with support from College Scholarships.

Meet Maria
This is Maria. She graduated from Abundant Life Institute in December 2018 and scored high on her university admission exam. Maria is one of the Reach Out Honduras Dream Big! College scholarship recipients. Thanks to the Dream Big! Program, in January, Maria started university to be a Nurse.
Maria speaks of her time at ALI with fondness and appreciation: “Being at Abundant Life was one of the most beautiful experiences that I have had. I learned many things: love for my neighbor, humility, unity, how to help those that need help and how to make a difference. I learned that with God nothing is impossible and that dreams can become reality.”
Maria also thanks everyone involved to get her where she is today: “I want to thank God and everyone who made this scholarship possible. I want to take full advantage of this opportunity and realize my dream of becoming a nurse. I want to come back to my community and help my people. I want to be an agent of change and make a difference.”
