Work Trips:
Work teams perform a wide variety of tasks at the village, from painting and
construction to landscaping and other needs. If you have a talent or skill, we
can put you to work serving the children. A work team consists of 12
members.You can form your own group of 12, or contact our office to join a
team that we are putting together. The costs for participating in a work team
is $1,500 per person, and the 8-10 day trips occur in March, June,
September, and November. Work team members take supplies from the USA
as part of their checked baggage, and workers are encouraged to contact our
office to find out if there are other needs that their local church can fill. Getting
children's classes, ladies' classes, teen groups, and other members involved in
donating household supplies is a great way to get the whole church involved
in the mission experience. Contact us today about an upcoming trip and a list
of needed supplies. (See contact page)

Letter from a Work Team Member
Although we had supported Por Los Niños financially for many years, the first work
trip I went on was in February of 2006. It is amazing what a difference it is to see
with your own eyes what you have been hearing about and seeing pictures of. It
becomes impossible to not recognize that there are real children. The same kind of
children as we have in our homes. Children with the same need for love and nurture
as our own children. Children that will take the same amount of time to grow up and
mature as our children. Children that need a stable loving home with mature loving
Christian parents to raise and care for them. When I saw it with my own eyes, I
could not ignore the commitment they need from me, and many others.
It was very nice to see Honduras. Yes, the people are lovely. The country is lush and
green, and who doesn’t like exploring a new and different place. However, it is
seeing and knowing the good work that is being done, and recognizing the small,
but important part I can play in that work that is the most striking when I go there.
Since the first trip in 2006, I have returned again in 2007 with some others from
Hernando, and I will be returning again in 2008 with a group. I hope and pray that
the work we are able to do will be of value to the caring for the children. But more
importantly, taking others to see the work, encouraging the house parents and staff,
and supporting the work of Family Life Missions and Por Los Niños, and coming home
to tell others about the work is the most important part of these trips. We have
made a commitment to the children, and the work is “Por Los Niños” (For the
Children).

They do not plead the
cause...of the orphan, that
they may prosper; And they
do not defend the rights of
the poor.
Jeremiah 5:28
Our founding USA fathers
recognized this Biblical
truth, that all people are
endowed by our Creator
with rights. If we are to be
righteous, not only do we
need to recognize the rights
of the poor, but we need to
be a defender of their rights.
