As I step off the bus into the sweltering air of Honduras, I am quickly surrounded by an abounding number of children jumping around in excitement. Overwhelmed by all their overjoyed faces I try my best to embrace all of them. It was astonishing to see how excited these children were to see me without even knowing me. Immediately I felt like I belonged there. A place so warm, loving and welcoming that the positive energy completely caused me to forget the dripping sweat and general discomfort I would otherwise recognize. A community so vibrant that being awake is finally better than dreaming.
