Kenny Godoy, our friend from Carmen's school for deaf children in Tegucigalpa, His Love in Action was at the Pan American Games in Brazil competing in Judo. The photo is from the newspaper. Kenny won the national championship in Honduras and also won the Central American championship this year. He was competing for a place in the olimpics in China next year and needed to come in 1st, 2nd or 3rd. Unfortunately his first match was against a Brazilian who is #3 in the world and and Kenny lost. Then Kenny was matched up against a guy from Cuba who is #1 in the world in their weight class and he lost again and finished 8th. So Kenny's hopes of going to the olimpics is over, but he gave a great effort in representing his country.
The last photo is him a couple weeks ago a little happier at the school.
