Maternity Home Project Update June 2017
The Connect Global Team traveled to Honduras once again, in June of 2017. This trip had a couple of focus points, one of which is the Maternity Home we have been fundrasing for.
A primary focus of all Connect Global trips currently is the Maternity Home Project in La Ceiba.
We began raising funds for a desperately needed place for moms and expecting moms to rest just before and immediately after giving birth.
In March we told you about a special Matching Donation that was offered to us of $40,000 towards this project! We are happy to report that we are currently (June 30, 2017) at $86,107.
On our last trip to La Ceiba, we had the opportunity to share the great news of the fundraising goals met with the Hospital Administrator, Dr. Amador, and her staff.
We also had the opportunity to share with our friend and local contractor/architect, Eduardo Oviedo Jr.

Connect Global Maternity Home Fundraising Update
Thanks to the overwhelmingly generous support we have received we will be making plans to break ground in 2017. We have been talking with several professional contractors in La Ceiba to finalize building standards and firm up a potential start date. We will inform you of the details when they are complete.
