One of the main ways Connect Global has been able to reach the surrounding communities of La Ceiba, Honduras and really make an impact is by advocating for education. We have been involved in supporting education in Honduras since Connect Global was formed, and we have a very special group of partners and supporters in the US and Honduras who have partnered with us on this cause since the 2017 school year..

Kids are back to class in La Ceiba, Honduras
We are looking to add more students to our roster of scholarship beneficiaries and we would love to invite you to join the several donors who are faithfully giving every month to ensure this group has everything they need to succeed this school year.
The Staff at the two schools we are currently providing scholarships for are amazing. They take great pride in the work they accomplish and understand their purpose very well. We are grateful to a very supportive group of sponsors who take this privilege very seriously and make up the gap between students who want to go to school but may not have the financial means to buy school uniforms, books, or pay their tuition.
Connect Global sponsors some very hard working and committed students.
Students are ready for the new school year thanks in part to the Connect Global Education Scholarship Fund
We believe that education is one of the keys to unlocking the amazing potential that is in each of us. Connect Global partners with 2 schools in La Ceiba to facilitate several students education and supplies. Thank You to our sponsors for making this school year a possible.
Connect Global Team Member sharing a hug with two girls from El Tamarindo
Every child deserves to get a quality education. We sponsor education initiatives and provide resources when and where we can This past August the team was able to hand out free school supplies to help kick-start the new school year.
We all loved to be loved. Kids are not the exception they are the rule to this quote. Our team provided tangible gifts but were also able to give a hug, and a smile to let them know that We care and that God cares for them.
They are special and they are blessed to be a blessing and we are happy to have been able to share this truth with them.
Connect Global team members had the opportunity to show love in a very practical way at the school in El Tamarindo.

Our team would like to invite you to a fast with us. We are using this time to lean into what God is doing around the world. This fast will include abstaining from food, devoting special time to reading the Bible, and putting more emphasis on prayer for the next 21 days as a group.

Dirección Nacional de la Niñez y la Familia (DINAF) a community organization charged with the enforcement of the protection of children, adolescents, and families has a regional office and primary school here in La Ceiba. Our teams have been partnering with DINAf since January 2015, when The Mendoza Family moved to Honduras. We have seen many changes both in leadership and in the care the kids receive here. We have also seen the city make changes to the name and admin of this kindergarten.
Our team praying with the staff
Each time we have a team in La Ceiba we will try to visit this school and bring some joy with us. This time we brightened up their cafeteria by painting and had fun playing, swinging, and blowing bubbles.
The Staff we met are all very motivated to make this the best location possible for the children and families they serve. On each visit, there have improvements. The Smiles on the kids are proof that their teachers and admin staff here are taking pride in the work they are accomplishing.
We also brought a microwave and several other components they have asked for to help the staff operate this school better.
Their funding is low and inconsistent but they have done the very best with what they have. This makes us very happy to support their efforts here.

Our team was invited to share in the Celebration for Dia del Indio.
Everytime we walk into their classrooms they are hard at study but still greet us gleefully. These kids are from Nursery age to Kindergarten. They deserve to study in a clean environment without the worry of getting hurt and that is some of the reason we support this organization.
The Staff we have met are all very motivated to make this the best location possible for the children and families they serve. Every time Danielle and I have visited there has been something new or improved. Sometimes, the staff has even paid out of pocket for many of the things they severely need.

During our July trip, our team delivered school supplies, and over a $1000 worth of food items to restock their empty pantry. We also had 6 ceiling fans installed, with new wiring for electrical in three classrooms. Our team repainted a classroom and several pieces of furniture for them as well.

The Kids still need about three more long tables ($60/ea), three more ceiling fans ($75/each), two bathroom doors replaced ($100/ea) as well as more classroom supplies like posters, books, whiteboards, and shelves.
They are also in need of long term volunteers to come and teach english and other subjects.
Connect Global April Team in front of DINAF in La Ceiba Honduras
Connect Global has been introduced this year to Dirección Nacional de la Niñez y la Familia (DINAF) a community organization charged with the enforcement of the protection of children, adolescents, and families. They are the front line of child abuse, adoption, fostering, and family counseling. The local branch in La Ceiba has a school with the capacity of 90 and serves between 30 and 40 families a month though free counseling, light medical treatment, groceries, and daycare for working parents.
The school currently has around 30 students, and between 5 and 10 preschoolers.

Rosa, the director, has been great contact and has been able to guide us as we jump in and help.
The Bathrooms at DINAF were unsanitary, hazardous, and in need of consistent running water.
In March we began the renovation of two bathrooms that were in very bad shape. The water was not running, the pipes were strewn across the room, and open drains caused not only a danger to little feet, but an overall health hazard to all.
We also noticed that the kids area was in need of new dining tables for the cafeteria, a new medical table for their nurses station, and several pieces of school furniture needed refurbishing.
The Connect Global team that arrived in April, was able to jump right into the renovations, and made a huge difference to the place. Sanders, Paint brushes and Mr Clean in Hand, the team made light work of the children's furniture, bathrooms, and medical area.
Our team, and network of churches, individuals and local businesses made several monetary and physical donations including Medical Supplies, School Supplies, a new Medical Exam Table, and NEW School lunch tables made by a local craftsman and business owner, Oscar Canales.
I am so proud of the team and their efforts. I am also grateful for the several local and international partners that came together to make the start of this partnership a success. Special Thanks to: Open Arms Church, Revival Temple, Joshua Nations, Oscar Canales, JIlma Molinero, CCI Church La Ceiba, Life Community Church, Dr. Oviedo, Smart Copy Honduras, and Luis and Juana.
The team was joined on one of the work days, by the Lady Lee Foundation of Honduras, and the Mayor of the City of La Ceiba, Carlos Aguilar, to complete the donations and gifts.
