Honduras Poverty: Blog Action Day 2008

Today, October 15, 2008 is Blog Action Day. The Honduras mission trip is a perfect compliment to this worldwide call to action on poverty. Through the web site "My Heart For Honduras", we give a call to action for anyone who is interested in helping the impoverished country of Honduras. A team of people from high school to senior citizens are going to San Pedro Sula, Honduras, July 11 - 18, 2009.

Honduras is a country where most in the rural areas are in poverty. However,many others have living conditions that middle class America would consider impoverished.
