Something practical - Sponsor a child

While the team were out in Honduras, we got to know more about the Manuelito Project and the staff and kids that it supported.

As well as letting the young people know that they were loved by spending time with them, and running a holiday club for them (with games, craft and amateur dramatics), we wanted to continue that contact once we got back to the UK.

So, quite a lot of the team have decided that we would sponsor one of more of the kids for a small amount each month (£22).  It can also include writing letters/cards, which can then be posted or sent when a team goes out from St Peter's, plus hopefully in the near future, the option to send emails, and hear back from the child as well.

We were able to let them know before we came back, and the looks of joy and happiness on their faces was a reward in itself, as the kids don't always think they are worth it, and encouragement like this is always good. Also, in spanish, the nearest word the Manuelito Project has to "sponsor" is "padre de dios" which means "God parent".

You can also sponsor a child who is trying to go to the A.F.E. school (near the waste tip) as well, and it will help them immensely as well.

Each child needs 10 sponsors in order to be full supported (and most now have 1), as both Projects currently have to rely on regular donations for financial support.
