Heart for Honduras - Leonie's work in Honduras from 2005-201

---

Adoption liaison work for both Honduran and international families. Joshua, Gregory, Olivia, Margarita, Abigail, Siguel, Ella and Shanease are all now legally adopted.

Leonie was also responsible for changes in Honduran legislation to speed up the adoption process by typically 12 months.

Feeding programmes in local impoverished schools for over 150 children weekly, also creating local authority pressure and persuasion for the Government to take responsibility for feeding their own children.

Midwifery clinics / medical brigades providing much needed medical care where none existed.
Also the pioneering training of Natural Birth Attendants for the local women to allow them to serve and care for their own community members.

Fresh water supply and bathroom facilities to the local school in Valle de Angeles – finally eradicating long term Gastro-Intestinal and general sickness of hundreds of children and local families in the area. The school was the only water supply for the El Tablon area of Valle de Angeles.

Women's bible study - enabling local women to move on and lead their own study - Praise God!

Hundreds of Spanish Bibles given throughout Valle de Angeles and rural areas of Honduras. 

The provision of bible studies, life skills education and a youth group for the local youth in the valley.  It has been great to see many give their lives to God and be baptised.

The provision of safe homes / transitioning homes for teenaged orphans following their transition from Institutionalised care to independent living in Honduras and the USA. Praise God that we have been able to set them on the right path with life skills.

English and drama classes at the local schools, as well as Christmas presents!

Gifts of building materials, furniture and clothing to local orphanages in Valle de Angeles. It is unbelievable how poor these orphanages are and our donations  helped to make these children’s lives just a bit better.
