Limon has one of the few libraries in this area. Why not drop by for a visit, see the building, offer to leave your books (even the ones in English), and think about bringing down a few Spanish books next year.

Limon Sewing School:

Contact Person: Ben
Don’t miss an opportunity to see these Garifina women sewing typical Garifina clothing. Also, a good time to pick up a few articles to carry home for friends and family. Also, ask to visit their new facilities. Both of these buildings are one block from the Clinic. Ask teachers Yolanda, Jessica and Neomi to put on a special “fashion show” for your team. They love to interact with the folks from Carolina Clinic.

Limon Orphanage:
Contact Person: Gloria Lacaya (the Lab Lady)
Unfortunately, there are lots of orphans in Honduras – many as a result of the AIDS pandemic. Limon is doing something about their problem. Visit, talk to the kids, see some of the creative things they are doing there. Who knows, you might find a project you want to be part of.

Plan de Flores Woodworking School:
Contact person: Douglas Goff
For the folks who want to go a little further, 20 min down the beach highway is a unique school. Started by Pastor Alfredo and wife Mariana, Indios from the mountains of Honduras. Several years ago they talked to Sister Eleanor from Cruzado about a way for their young parishioners to make a living and the “Woodworking School was born”. This school is government sanctioned so the graduates have diplomas. It is funded by folks just like you through scholarships for the boys and girls – ranging in age from 11 to 17 years old. The scholarships run $75/student/month. The students learn furniture making, woodcarving, and general woodworking. In addition to learning a trade the students get a wonderful Christian foundation.

Punta Pietra Sewing School:
For the even more adventurous, take a trip about 1 hour down the coastal highway and visit the Garifina Village of Punta Pietra. The Garifina Ladies Sewing School, Mt. Vernon South, Agricultural Co-op, refurbished school, and library are some of the projects you will want to visit. See what a difference one concerned group can make when it works hand-in-hand with local Christians.
