This year we have eleven (11) students, who are receiving aid for their studies. In Honduras, the public school system is free, but the children must pay for books, uniforms, back-packs, and miscellaneous fees, which means some poor kids can’t go without support. These scholarships help address that problem.
The Ministry of Presence chooses the kids based on financial need and desire to study.
