A Note from Les & Jeannell
Join us in congratulating Rita Leticia Hernandez, better know to you as
Letty, a grown young lady of twenty. Letty came to Por Los Niños along
with her little sister, Yuni, in 1994. Letty was just five years old. Her life was a
dismal example of the existence of so many Honduran children. Your love
and support for Letty has made life possible for her, literally. Without your
loving support odds are Letty would not have survived childhood.
As a result of early malnutrition Letty struggled with school. Even though
conditions of her early years made learning very difficult she was able to
finish the 8th grade. By American standards this does not seem very
remarkable until you realize Honduras is a country where 84% of children
never reach a sixth grade education.
Letty did not just sit back and use excuses for not being a high achiever.
She still had dreams. Through the love and guidance of Les and Jeannell,
she enrolled in a beauty academy in 2008. She graduated with her diploma
in December of 2009.
As all our children eventually do, Letty decided it was time for her to leave
home. She is ready to try life on her own by re-entering her community
prepared to make a difference for those around her. She has not forgotten
her PLN family. She continues to worship with her PLN family and visits the
village regularly.
I know you are proud, as are we of her accomplishments and her self
sufficient and determined attitude. Please keep her in your prayers and join
us as we wish God’s blessing upon her as she begins a new chapter in her life.
Letty is an example of what your love can do. The village has grown with
more children and our ability to stretch a dollar is getting more and more
difficult. We have many more children that need your love. I pray you can
look into your heart and give these children hope.
