Walking Home
Wednesday, September 1, 2010 at 7:34PM Mission of Mercy child development centers are a refuge for many children -- a safe place to learn, grow, eat, and play. The centers are often a stark contrast to a child's neighborhood and home. In this video, we follow a young boy eager to take us to his house. Walking home with him will open your eyes.

My first grade students and I sponsor a student in the Dominican Republic. Viewing this post opened our eyes to the conditions in the DR and opened our eyes to how much we take for granted in our cozy homes in the US....Thank you for posting!
Soy de Costa Rica y vivo en Colorado, USA. Conozco Honduras y otros paises en Centro America. Cuando uno ve imagenes como estas, se te parte el corazón. Es cuando entendemos cuan bendicidos somos y aprendemos a apreciar mas el ambiente que nos rodea. Yo patrocino tres niños hondureños y estoy segura que a través de Mission of Mercy, estoy aportando un granito de arena para que cada uno de ellos tenga un futuro mejor, un camino de regreso a casa mas seguro!!!!

It is when we understand how blessed we are and learn to appreciate more the environment around us. I sponsor three children in Honduras and I am sure that through Mission of Mercy, I'm bringing a bit of a better future for each of them and a way back home more secure!!
