What lead me here, is wanting to join others in the challenge of providing the upmost care to communities less fortunate than us. It all starts with a love that…

In the past few years, Honduras has had roughly 7,000 homicides each year out of its population of 8 million.

When the situation was further investigated, the Spanish speaking student was upset because they were not Mexican, they were Honduran.
