3. Limon Sewing School:
Limon Sewing School: 7 years ago the ladies of this remote fishing village ask AHMEN to “teach them to fish”. Their idea was to start a sewing school. There have been over 30 ladies graduate from this school. The graduates have found good paying jobs in sewing programs, started their own business, or sew out of their homes.

The town of Limon has given the Sewing School a piece of property and the ladies have asked AHMEN to help them build a new, expanded building. The plans are to build a combination school and graduate program. The school will continue its primary mission of training the ladies of the town to make a living. In addition, there will be an opportunity for the graduates to continue their work and produce local, Gariffina clothing for the people of Limon, the surrounding area, and any tourist trade. For more information check out the web page under Limon Sewing School www.honduranmissions.com or contact Linda Norris (jerry_norris@bellsouth.net).

We are looking for construction persons and sewing persons for summer of ’06 missions.

4. Instituto Technico de Plan de Flores:
Instituto Technico de Plan de Flores: Pastor Alfredo and his wife Marianna requested help in devising a way for the youth of their congregation of this small, remote village to make a living. The village is located 30 minutes from our main medical mission on a dirt road. The village had no sanitary water and no electricity. What it did have is a Christian man and his wife with a vision. The school has grown to include a thriving church, sanitary water for the entire town, a sewing school with a government sponsored teacher, a technical school for high schools students who learn carpentry, furniture making, and wood carving. In addition, there is now a graduate program for advance work in woodworking and marketing as well as an English course.
