On Friday we went to Los Laurales which is the community around the dump. We had the opportunity to work the soup kitchen provided by the church at Cruzadas. They do the soup kitchen here every Tuesday and Friday. Another mission group does the soup kitchen on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. For some of these children, this will be the only food they may get all week. Most of the children did not eat their food there, but rather took it home to share with their families. These are the poorest of La Ceiba, surviving by wading through the refuse at the dump for whatever they can salvage to sell or trade. Most have no hope of anything better. They are born there and may never leave. It is heartbreaking. Please pray for the missions that provide the food and especially for these precious children.
