Bikes/Boulder Wall at NPH Honduras
Donation protected
I'm currently the Physical Education Teacher at a children's home in Honduras. It is run by an organization called Nuestros Pequenos Hermanos that has homes throughout Latin America (https://www.nph.org). There are approximately 400 kids that NPH Honduras (https://www.nph-honduras.org) is supporting either here at the home, in the capitol at high school, in university, or in leadership initiatives in the United States.
There is a volunteer community of twenty with people working as therapists, visitor coordinators, community outreach facilitators, teachers, and more. Us volunteers are working at El Rancho Santa Fe (the home), where we interact directly with the kids. Because I am with the kids all day every day I have learned some of their needs and wants. They want and need bikes and protective gear that goes with it. They don't know about bouldering gyms and rock climbing but I know it would be a simple and worthy investment of money. They frequently ask me when we're going camping but we don't have tents and there is a gym in the works that needs some equipment.
There is a shipping container coming to Honduras before Christmas 2018. There are all sorts of things ranging from farm equipment, gardening tools, to industrial sewing machines. The fellow who is sponsoring the shipping container and organizing the collection of materials is leaving space for 20-30 bicycles. He is also paying for the shipping out of pocket at a cost of $4500.
My goal is to raise $7000 to fill that space with bicycles, bicycle helmets, holds for an indoor climbing wall, materials for P.E., materials for the gym, and ultimately help with the cost of shipping. The kids here will benefit from your donation. I'm doing this because the priorities of NPH lie in housing, providing nutritious meals, educating, and providing saftety. I want to step in to help with fun. With approximately 4 months to raise the money and collect the materials time is of the essence. For question please feel free to reach out to me on Facebook or Instagram or contact me here. Much Obliged.
