Plan de Flores, the first major project AHMEN ever
supported, is “alive and well” and expanding.
They started with an idea from the local pastor and his wife,
Alfredito and Marianna. They wanted to help their young parishioners
be able to make a living when they became adults. The first project
was a woodworking,  furniture making and carving school. It continues
to train boys and girls in these arts. The students come from
as far away as La Ceiba, live at dorms built on site, attend
both regular school as well as the technical school.
Two years ago the Limon Sewing School was opened – fist
without electricity and now with it. Again, the mostly women
learn a trade while attending high school. They have living quarters
on campus.
This year, they will add a school for the deaf. Yep, you guessed
it. These folks will attend grammar school, high school, and
one of the technical schools while learning sign language.
This is a lot of schooling in one little village on the side
of a dirt road. But, Alfredo and Marianna have the whole hearted
support of Cruzado as well at the local community and local government.
