Words really cannot describe what a great time we had visiting NPH near Tegucigalpa this weekend. It was so nice to see Maynor and Mauricio from Casa Corazón away from the casa and enjoying a vacation for the first time that I have seen. They were so excited getting ready to go and I have never seen anyone so exticted to me on a bus as Maynor was Thursday morning. They really loved being in the outdoors, playing with a bunch of new kids, collecting fresh eggs from the chicken coops, seeing the cows and pigs, hiking up the mountains, swimming in the river by the dam, and just having the freedom to walk around outside without worries of the crime we have here in San Pedro Sula. Maynor Galvan, who lives at NPH, was also completely thrilled to have three guests for the long weekend. He loved seeing his former housemate, Maynor Madrid, for the first time in three years.

For those of you who don't know, Maynor Galvan lived at Casa Corazón three years ago. They located his biological brother who does not have HIV and moved the two of them together to NPH which is a giant, 2000 acre wooded ranch about 25 miles north of Tegucigalpa. 600 children live there, many are siblings of each other as NPH likes to bring families together to live rather than separating them.

Just a wandering fellow blogger who wandered to your page. Great work, and may the Lord be greatly glorified through your efforts.
Keep it up!
May you continue to find strength in Him, when you need that extra ounce of energy, may He refresh you, when you feel drained. Anne
