Special Manuelito Sunday

2012-01-31T12:02:00.000-08:00

Sunday we had a very special service at Amor y Vida. It was a Sunday celebrating the changes that have occurred in the last year at Manuelito and asking for faith promises. It was a beautiful service showing all God has done in the lives of our kids. We praise God for Amor y Vida and the role they have played in founding and supporting the project over the years. We really wouldn't be here without them!

Thank you Harmony friends!

God has blessed the project with a wonderful Christmas season! Praise the Lord we have had a few really nice celebrations. Thank you to Hope Teams Int, The Heraldo, Unilever, and Amigos de Manuelito for putting on such wonderful celebrations and teaching the kids about Jesus' birth and how He is the greatest present we can ever give or receive. We hope you enjoy the slideshow below. Merry Christmas from all of us at the Manuelito Project!

Soccer benefit pictures!

2011-12-23T05:49:00.000-08:00

The soccer benefit was last night at the national stadium here in Tegucigalpa. It was a beautiful time with with tons of Honduran soccer stars! I'm not sure on the attendance numbers but the turnout seemed very good. The kids had such a good time, especially getting to meet their heros. Thank you to everyone who showed up or donated. God bless you!

Soccer benefit!

2011-12-20T22:36:00.000-08:00

Manuelito is excited to be hosting an event this Thursday in Tegucigalpa! There will be a soccer game between local Honduran stars and Honduran stars who play outside of Honduras. It will be hosted in the stadium and we would like you to come! The event starts at 6:00pm on Thursday, December 22nd. If you'd like we will be accepting donations of shoes and clothes. Please tell all your friends and family because it should be a fun time and you'll be able to see all your favorite players! Also if you are outside of Tegucigalpa but would still like to help support the project you can still purchase a ticket! Just contact one of our personnel or use the contact form on this page to let us know. See you there!

Harmony visits Manuelito!

2011-06-19T17:07:00.001-07:00

This week we were blessed to have a team from Harmony Christian Church from Indiana with us! The team flew in to Tegucigalpa on the 13th and will be heading back tomorrow (the 20th). We are so thankful for your visit, the lives of the children have been impacted greatly. The children were fortunate enough to have the group come during a national holiday week where they didn't have school! So the kids could be surrounded by the love and support of the team at all times! We thank you all for the hard work you put into our new multi-function building, which will one day house future work teams and our medical room, and on the bodega. Thank you for investing in the lives of these children. This project could not operate without the continued love and support of people like you. We hope you all had an enjoyable and fulfilling time this week, and that God has revealed Himself in new ways.

God bless!
The Manuelito family!

Thank you Laura and Susan!

2011-06-18T17:11:00.000-07:00

From all of us at Manuelito we would like to thank Susan Leonard and Laura Ralfs, from St. Peters, MO, for coming down to visit us! Susan and Laura came down for a week in the beginning of June. They took the kids at the transition house to Aqua Splash their first day here! I've never seen the kids so happy! The rest of their week was spent in Talanga loving on the children and letting them know that they have so many people who care deeply for them. We were so blessed to have you two and look forward to seeing you again pronto!

New School Plans

2010-11-05T20:06:00.000-07:00

Exciting news for the Talanga campus. As many may know, the Talanga campus will be starting their own school around February of 2011. This is a huge blessing as it will allow teachers to focus on the specific needs of the children, something their current teachers are unable to do. Speaking of teachers, the first three teachers are going to be Rita, Maribel, and Maricela! What a blessing that three of the first girls who first entered the project now want to go back to help! Praise the Lord!

The bodega has been converted into a classroom so that the kids will have somewhere to go in February. Unfortunately the current building has only been approved until the end of 2011, so plans had to be made for a new school building! I have attached pictures of the building plans for the project. We are very excited to see God move!
