Project 541 has been busy already in 2014! Exactly 18 weeks from today we will launch our programs for young mothers and orphaned/abandoned girls in the community of Puerto Lempira. These last months in the United States we will be planning extensively for the start of our programs and inaugural year of this mission. We are looking long term and planning sustainable, progressive ways to make Project 541 have a BIG impact on the lives of women and girls in La Moskitia. While our fundraising right now is focused largely on an annual fund to sustain the first phase of the home (4 children) for the first year, our plans extend well into the next 5-10 years. When I move to Honduras in May 2014 we will find a rental house to begin our first phase of the girls home. The first few years will be used to establish our programs, network in the community, and perform a detailed needs assessment. Our first shipment of supplies, including clothes and sheets donated by Grace UMC, will be sent to Honduras in February. We encourage you to become involved in Project 541, and embark on this journey with us from the beginning. We will be having a benefit concert on April 13th, 2014 in Jackson, TN with our friend and incredible musician John Kilzer! Be on the lookout for more information, and feel free to contact us with any questions. We are so grateful for your support, and are continually humbled by the generosity of our donors. We appreciate you, and will continue to keep you updated our progress.
