Jesus, Friend of the Children program report

Thank you for sponsoring a child attending the Jesus, Friend of the Children youth center in Honduras. Your gift has changed a child’s future forever.

We want to take this opportunity to let you know what your sponsored child and other children in the program have been up to this year … all because of your generous, selfless giving.

Spiritual development

In 2017, 336 children attended the Jesus, Friend of the Children youth center. Teachers instructed students about faith, obedience, and prayer. Through these lessons, the kids grew in the foundations of the faith and knowledge of Jesus.

The children learned the importance of repenting, asking for forgiveness, and giving praise to God through songs; they love singing His praises throughout the day.

Education

To make subjects like reading and writing more fun, your sponsored child participated in contests to foster learning and friendly competition. The children also received tutoring in math. Recenlty, 44 children have completed their pre-primary education and are now ready to start first grade. Several of the center’s older students completed their secondary education and even began taking college courses.

The children also learned valuable life lessons such as good personal hygiene practices and how to treat others with courtesy and generosity.

Celebration

One major goal of the Jesus, Friend of the Children program is to share love through celebration! This year, your sponsored child attended birthday parties for other children in the program each month and a special Christmas celebration. Although the children receive lunch and a snack each day at the center, their eyes lit up when they saw the dinner and sweets at the Christmas party.

During another celebration, your sponsored child and other kids in the program received new pants, shirts, and a pair of shoes.
