Benediction
February Benevolence - World Vision
Families thriving at home
“Sixteen-year-old Ever* sits down to his mother’s home-cooked breakfast of beans, eggs, and tortillas by 6 a.m., then dashes off to school at the Lenca Institute, a 35-minute walk away in Yamaranguila, Honduras. He’s looking forward to his first day of 11th grade and getting back to agroforestry studies and band.”
”Ever’s parents’ education ended with high school, but he expects to go on to university. His parents are thrilled and confident about his prospects. Higher education is not just a dream, Ever says, it’s his plan. He knows he can work to make his dreams come true. Ever’s parents also have plans and dreams for their family and their community. His mom, Carmen, 47, a World Vision–trained volunteer health monitor, is now training her daughters and other young moms to assist in child health services. Ever’s dad, Francisco, 50, is a church lay leader who holds services on weekdays and teaches classes from a World Vision curriculum on parenting with love.”
“In our community, World Vision is linked to development in so many different areas,” Francisco says.
”Child sponsorship and other World Vision programs have supported social, physical, and spiritual renewal in Yamaranguila. Our work is bearing fruit there in the lives of children and adults who are stepping up as community builders.”
