The Campesino group that we have been working with for about a year now was recently forced off the land they have occupied for more than 6 years. We have relocated them with numerous trips of 3 pickups, to some land that we (HHK) and our partners, Amigos of Honduras are buying for them closer to the town of La Bomba.
They and we hauled wood, zinc roofing, household possessions and chickens. Men, women and children made many trips carrying their possessions to their new living sites.
They are eating rice, spaghetti and green bananas in an outdoor dining area under a tree and living in plastic shacks, with few possessions.
They left behind their abobe huts. They have very little, including food, and need about everything.
When the rains start, there will be lots of wet, sick kids. In spite of the hardships, 2 little kindergarten girls looked spotless.
We have taken them fortified rice, tomato soup, folding metal beds, a roll of plastic and 40 lbs of ripe bananas. This is just a band-aid. They need wood and zinc roofing to try and protect themselves against the storms that will soon be upon us this winter. And they need more permanent housing.
If you feel in your heart that you want to help these men, pregnant women, old people and lots of little children, please visit our website and make a contribution (fastest) or send a check made out to Helping Honduras Kids, 305 Vineyard Town Ctr #253, Morgan Hill, Ca 95037
