August 1 was Erica's birthday so we celebrated outside in the yard beside the Center.  It was a beautiful, sunny day, as most days are here in Honduras, and we had a great time.

This is how our wood is usually delivered, I always feel so sorry for the horses, what a life!

We have this amount of wood delivered every few weeks for fuel for our stove.  We encourage the girls to cook on the wood stove outside as much as possible since that is what they will use when they return to their villages although we also teach them to use the gas stove.

Everyone pitches in to help when the wood is delivered for our wood stove

Once we got the girls to the other side, this is the bus they left on - notice the broken window. Tomorrow, Monday, the girls will return to the Center in the same manner but in reverse.

It's been over a month and things are still unsettled here politically, and we still have to deal with road closures. On Friday we drove these girls to the place where the road was closed and walked with them through the demonstration to make sure they got a bus on the other side.
