Ministering to the people in Roatan, Honduras

This past spring break, the School of Population Health, Nutrition & Wellness planned its annual Mission Trip. The destination was Roatan, Honduras, a beautiful island in South America. We had a group of 8 students who volunteered to spend their spring break ministering to the people in Roatan. Our students did a week of prayer in the church of Coxen Hole, Roatan, they also painted the cafeteria of the Adventist Highschool; did seminars on health, teen related problems, etc to the highshool students. The students did nutrition assessment of the elementary students. It was a short but rewarding experience that our students really enjoyed! We look forward to doing more mission work in different parts of the world in the near future!

Here Jovanka Drobac (1) and Shelli Nash (2) are measuring and weighing children. This is our second year going to Honduras to do Nutrition Assessment, and it has been wonderful to see the vast improvement in the children at the clinics.

Some of the boys at the El Tigre clinic happily coloring away in their new coloring books.

Here is our group riding in the back of the truck into town.

In Honduras, you never know who you will be sharing meals with - this was one of our meal companions!

For church on Sabbath, Shelli Nash and Vianey Munoz sang for special music.

Dr. Craig (translated by Ronald Archbold) gave a health lecture in one of the mountain villages to mothers on how to properly feed and nourish their young children.

 

Here we are on our last night at PAHS before saying goodbye to Lucita and Nelly.

Thanks to students, faculty, and people from the community who donated items and gave monitary gifts, we were able to take the children much need supplies, food, and clothing. This picture is just some of the things that we were able to get for them.

 

It was hard to leave, but we will be back again in March 2014!

 

 "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'

 Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'

 The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me."  Matthew 25:35-40
