Termites eating the house

Hi Everyone,

We're having a mini crisis at the center. It was discovered there are many termite nests and they are devouring the house.

The exterminator has come once and removed some nests and will spray now on a regular basis.

A donation was made to cover the cost of installing security bars on the doors and windows.

It's necessary as there is a large drug problem with crack and sometimes unhappy parents who have had their babies removed by the Honduran Family and Children Services.

Jane is doing an amazing job caring for these babies and often has no help. She also has two three year olds she has adopted.

She also makes home visits to check on little ones that have been returned to their homes and will remove them again if they are not being cared for.

This is an entirely different culture and standard of care. These babies live in homes with dirt floors and safety does not exist.

On another more pleasant note, I am sitting on my friend Genny's porch with dozens of hummingbirds buzzing around the feeder and me. They are beautiful!

I had an amazing snorkel from the Sundancer dock out to the reef. The water is calm like glass today and this is unusual.

Resting up for a few days and will be back at the baby center soon.

Keep collecting any donations you have. See
