I originally went to Honduras to study Spanish and live with a wonderful homestay family for a week. I stayed two weeks. I fell in love with the family as well as the Honduran people and the children absolutely capitvated me!

I came back to Seattle and after 3 months, sold most of my belongings and my car, gave up my music career and moved to Honduras to teach English.

Within 3 months I began to see how distressed the schools were in the neighboring villages and decided that I would commit my energies to raising money to buy supplies and do much needed repairs.

I feel so at “home” here, and so love my life. It has many challenges, but the love and great energy overrides all the difficulties.

Maybe one day you will want to come down this way and I will be more than happy to show you this beautiful, friendly country.

Love,
Ellen
