Dublin AM members Cap Clegg and Amy Snow along with Interact Members from Dublin Coffman and Dublin Jerome High Schools recently participated in a mission trip to Honduras.
Montana de Luz is a home for children affected by HIV/Aids and with our help the children there will be better fed and our team is more educated about how we can make a difference in the lives of 35 children from another country who don't have the same advantages we do.
During our eight day trip we completed projects to help MdL become more self sufficient including clearing land for a garden and clearing brush from an overgrown fruit orchard. In addition we helped with the up-keep of the property by painting buildings and clearing gravel for the road. Most significantly we spend several hours everyday interacting with the children of MdL playing games, doing crafts and reading books. What a great adventure for all our participants and thank you to Dublin AM for helping to make this possible.
Participants on the trip included 4 adults: Cap Clegg, Amy Snow, Brian Graham, Debbie Cautela; and 5 students: Meredith Hall. Irene Byun, Kyle Ritterbeck, Mitchell Graham and Kelsey Cautela.
