Very artsy, very collegian, very professional. She will write the script, then shoot, then edit/finalize. Any suggestions should be made before she shoots. Once she shoots, changes that cause more shooting will require another set of equipment rentals. She has already walked the poorest part of El Amatillo and interviewed a mother of two girls that attend school. Ms. Valleho is a published author and gave me a small paper bound book of poetry that she wrote. She also brought a photograph portfolio. If we decide to pursue this project, she is the one to do the work for us. I believe her when she says she is discounting her fee because she ... Read More »

8:30 to 11:15 drove to Teguci.
Walked to open market and bought some coins.
1:00 to 2:00 Met with the L4L lawyer, Juan Gusman. He brought his daughter, who is studying medicine at the university and speaks fluent English. Since he now understands that we want to become a recognized charity, and not to incorporate a new entity, he brought a checklist that more closely meets our needs. Main issues are:

• We must take a copy of our Articles of Incorporation and bylaws (English and Spanish) to the nearest Honduran embassy attaché office.
• We must develop a cadre of officers (am unclear at this point , but it may be four, President, Secretary, Treasurer, Advocate (Vice-president)). I will clarify through emails.
• Since I am the President of L4L and Roxana is our in-country responsible individual, we must pro ... Read More »

Translator, Isel Rivas arrived and we headed to El Amatillo.
Stopped twice in an attempt to buy cell phone minutes and once for gas.
Arrived in El Amatillo at Roxana's house at 10.00. Roxana, Ewdard, Isel and I headed out to review schools.
1. North of CA 1 on dirt road to Goascoran (town Jeff and I went to looking for internet), cobble stone roads throughout town then dirt roads again. About 15 minutes north of Goascoran we came to the school. Neat, clean little two room school house. Water from a hand crank well. Obviously the school gets attention from parents and community.
2. Drove south of CA 1 (once we turned south we were on dirt roads, most un-maintained, for the 6 hours - including our lunch at a "restaurant at the intersection of two dirt roads, more on that later) small community school is clean and neat. The "grounds keeper" unl ... Read More »

A disjointed day. Arrived at airport with time but got a clerk who didn't have a clue and time started to slide. Left my traveling book {loose leaf binder with plane ticket, addresses, scheduled, etc.} at the counter.  Fortunately, a clerk brought it to the waiting area or I would have been lost. Inefficient but helpful.

Tegucigalpa at 12"45PM. New roll-out corridors, no more walking down steps to the tarmac, across the runway, and in a door. A new era is staring for travel to Honduras; it looks like they are adding a motel to the airport terminal as well as covered corridors. Jorge not there to help me thru customs, all bags arrived, Jorge met me out front. Drove to his shop to say "HI" to the family then to Leslie's Place to sign in.

Went to church {got there late}. Pastor Victor’s wife, small congregation. After service I asked to see Pastor Sch ... Read More »
