NY/HELP Honduras Drive
Donation protected
My name is Jeff, and I'm going to Honduras with NY/HELP Jan 4th, 2016.
I am raising money for supplies for a Humanitarian trip to a remote Indian village of La Laguna, in the Yoro mountains of Honduras.
Any funds raised past the goal will go the the medical clinic, and future projects. On this trip, we're replacing a roof of one of the Schools as well as restocking medical supplies.
I've been able to buy a plane ticket, but am coming up short for supplies.
I've been given 3 Laptop computers, that I'm going to refurbish and donate these to NY/HELP. Primary costs will be for new batteries, totalling $152.
One will be donated to our new coordinator, Jorge Ramirez. He is a local who is our eyes, ears, and hands on the ground. He stepped up when our last coordinator quit abruptly, leaving all efforts at a standstill. Communication has been difficult (facebook messages have saved the day), as he doesn't own a computer, or have regular access to electricity.
To remedy this second fact, I'm purchasing a BioLite Camp Stove for $200.
Check out the Stove
It's a camp stove that also charges small devices. This means he can charge his cell phone. This small stove will also be a test to see if it is practically useful as a cooking stove. If it is, we may purchase more in future.
We need your help!
I've already purchased my plane ticket ($800) and group expenses ($300), and am coming up short for these last expenses. I don't want NY/HELP to pay for these items, as they are already doing so much for the community. Whatever you can spare will be incredibly appreciated.
Your help will help us get communication back!
Most of these photos are from my last trip in 2007. It has been too long, and I hope to make this a yearly dedication.
Projects that have been completed since this group started in 1989, include a medical clinic, nutrition program, agricultural development, clean water supplies and sanitation, and support and encouragement for educational programs. Several young women have been given scholarships to nursing school, and currently we support students at the Centro Básico Educativo (middle school) in near-by Mataderos.
