These bags are full of basic foods, such as rice, red beans, flour and oats.
We have not had enough funds to give out food bags except to the indigenous tribes, who are the most forgotten and poorest of the people in Honduras.
I got a request from Adalicia, Cesar’s sister, could she again have money to purchase food bags for this community down south in the Choluteca area.

The villages we have visited are communities that border the Nicaraguan border. They are very remote villages. It takes 5 to 6 hours to get there by car and another two hours walking. They are villages forgotten by the government.

Both villages are very remote places, where it is difficult for people to go out to the city to bring their supplies. There is no source of work and the lands are arid due to the extreme heat of the area. There is no cultivation of any kind. Most of the men live on the salary they receive for the planting of melons and watermelons, which only occurs in the hot season.

To get to these villages we had to stay 2 days and take on the experience of sleeping in a hammock. It was a very nice experience. Very far away from places, without much noise. Far from the city, where technology does not exist until you go down to the municipality. It was an unforgettable experience. I thank God for the opportunity to know these people and thus be able to bring them blessings through you. Thanks a lot.

We do not usually give food bags to men, as you are not sure who belongs to who. We only have enough for one per family. Usually, with the large distribution of food bags to the Lenca, they are only given to the women. Ada keeps a carefull watch for such things. Here it was a little different. They knew the bags were coming so the recipients had put on their best clothes. Someone was armed with a list of names, to be ticked off, so that everyone received their bag of food correctly. Everything was done in order.

One of the villages is called Aldea San Felipe, Cacerio el Zapatón in the municipality of Apacilagua in Choluteca. To get to the village you must cross the river, since there is no access to the street. People transport their food on donkeys or horses. This is their principal means of transportation. You can see the horses carrying the food you sent in green sacks.
The other village is called Agua Blanca, municipality of Apacilagua department of Choluteca. Here there are 250 inhabitants. To get there you have to go by boat.

I wish we understood how important these bags of food are to these families. They are not just much needed food for the family but also hope. They have been remembered. Many will give thanks to the Lord for this povision. There will be stories of how this food has met a specific need. Unfortuately, we will never get to hear them. What we do know is that it is a great blessing.
