Back to School!

School is in session here at GiveHope2Kids.    For the 2016 year, our 14 elementary students will attend homeschool every day here on the property.   They start at 7:00am every morning by singing the Honduran anthem and then off to classes they go!   In the mornings they're studying their main subjects and then after lunch, they have electives.  

The kids' favorite new  class is called "Oficios," which is kind of like  shop class.   It's really the kick-off of our Trade School dreams.   Twice a week our kids get to work on a new skill, which we hope will help them to develop into independent adults. The kids have responded so well and are constantly asking: “Clase de oficios hoy?”   That means: “Trade School class today?”   (If you would like to come and teach in our Trade School, please do! You can learn more about coming down for a short-term trip here.)

​We really feel that our teachers are going to do such a great job this year.    Both of our house-moms are helping to teach, along with  two of our university scholarship students, Katy and Doris, and our volunteers David, Amy, and Josiah.      Our teachers are so excited to have a brand new curriculum to teach from.   (Thank you to those who donated to make this happen!)   Ms. Sharon, our long term mentor from our IER days, has been helping us prepare for what will be our best year yet.   We are so excited to see how our kids continue to learn and grow.

We now have 7 students going to Instituto El Rey every morning.   We were very excited to have 3 new 7th graders starting there from GH2K.   We’re so proud of all these kids and we believe that they have an incredible year of learning ahead of them!
