As Volunteers, we are blessed to be apart of this place on a daily basis, which provides an opportunity to see the children spiritually, in education, in community, and in their own person. Also recognizing the reality of Honduras and imagining where these kids might be if the Farm did not exist. The structure, the spirituality, the education, the opportunity to live in community all make an enormous difference in the volunteers, the Sisters, the house parents, the children, and everyone else involved with the Farm. This is a sacred place and I am blessed to have the chance to be apart of it.

My girls during their vacation from school worked 75 hours a week making 35 cents an hour. They had one month where they did not have to work before school began again. During this time a woman came to the Finca wanting to give away her four children because, like a typical single mother in Honduras, she could not make enough money working to pay for childcare, rent, and food. Our teenagers voluntarily decided to care for these woman\\\\\\\'s children every day so she would have the opportunity to work. So every day we had twin 5 year olds, a 3 year old and an 11 month old baby in our home. The love they poured out to this family was amazing; taking the children to the local park, reading to them for probably the first time in their young lives, and simply sitting and listening to this woman\\\\\\\'s struggles. To see our children putting their faith into action and being such examples of Christ to this woman and her chidlren was incredibly inspirational for me.
