Ruby Horbasenko - My Honduran Mission Trip
Roatan Honduras
I started my trip off by going to the Calgary Zoo, then flew out the next morning to Roatan Honduras . When we arrived that evening we were happy to see all of our family and friends.
While I was there the Lord blessed me with the opportunity to be a help in the Christian school and some days in the cafeteria.
While volunteering in school, I was able to help the teachers by dealing with some of the children's attitude, teaching them new subjects in Math and Science, and taking care of them when they were sick at school. I was happy to see improvements in their attitude and work. I was able to team up with Miss April Aaron and had a very good time working with her in the Learning Center.
This year my Mom and I were able to raise money by selling foods, toys, clothing, and bake goodies. We raised enough money to repair 2 computers that was donated to the school office. Approximately Lps.2,500.00($132.00)
Sometimes on Sunday's I was able to help in the Sunday School classes, and sing in the Children's Choir. The services were long, but I enjoyed them.
When I had free time, my cousin and I would jump off the wharf and swim. Other days we would go up the shore with my Grandpa and Grandma to go snorkeling and diving conch in Port Royal. One day while diving I got to see three squid, a stingray and a gorgeous reef like what you would see on TV. I also was able to go hiking around the island and saw wild iguanas, snakes, frogs and bugs.
I had a wonderful time and I made a lot of new friends. I can't wait to go there again next year if God wills. I am thankful that I was able to go this year.
