Our thanks go out to Doris Eggenberger, Director of Hospital Suizo-Hondureño in La Ceiba for the wonderful care that Francisco received this past week when he broke his leg.
Francisco was playing fútbol during recess and his legs got tangled with another boy's. Unfortunately, this has not been our first broken bone at the Hogar, nor will it probably be our last! We truly appreciate the generosity of everyone at Hospital Suizo-Hondureño in helping to care for our HHK children!
Julio stayed with Francisco in the ER for the entire day. (Thanks Julio!) Francisco first got some x-rays and then Tara (volunteer from Canada), Eve (HHK board member) and Gerson & Moises (Francisco's biological brothers) came by to cheer for Francisco as his cast was put on. We later went to a restaurant as a special treat for dinner where the boys got to watch Pokemon on one tv and Julio saw Guatamala beat Honduras in an exhibition fútbol game on the other! (Oh well!)
Later in the evening, each of the Hogar de Amor kids took a turn at the microphone to voice their good wishes and appreciations to Caroline, our volunteer from England who is leaving us to continue volunteering in Peru. Thank you Caroline - - We wish you a safe journey!!

Dave Ashby brought over some cake and ice cream and we actually got Tia Stacy and Tio Julio to stand still long enough for a photo!
