 Family
Unity – A Soup Kitchen for Orphans and Widows in Limon, Honduras
AHMEN, in conjunction with Cruzado
de Evangelico Church in Limon, Honduras has started a soup kitchen
for the orphans of that area. There are presently 40 kids with no
parents and 40 kids with only a mother. In addition, there are 25
older adults, mostly ladies, with no financial support system. When
asked who feeds the kids now, Corina Goff said: “They wander
from house to house in the village with their little plate and cup
asking for food.”
Family Unity is presently feeding them
a high energy, high protein meal two times a week. With each feeding
they are given a vitamin appropriate for their age. The church delivers
the meal and vitamin to the homes of the widows who are too feeble
to walk to the church.
The food us cooked over an open fire by Christina, one of the members
of the Cruzado church. She is paid $15/week to head-up the program.
Family Unity has funding for 5 mos.
If you would like to be part of this project, contact Danny or Brenda
Arnold, Jenny, Anna, or Rainey.
Any size donation is appreciated. We estimate $10/mo./kid will keep
the program going.
Short Term Goal:
2 feedings and 2 vitamins/kid/week
Long Term Goal: Increase the number of feedings/week
