Fortunately it was sunny.  There is no way this amount of people would have fit into the Center for graduation.

Graduation was on October 30.  It was a special day.  Even though it was raining all over Honduras, here in Trujillo it was sunny and beautiful.  There were between 175 and 200 guests at the Center to celebrate with our graduates.  

This is Angelica, one of our second year students.  This year, because of your support, we were able to have her eyes checked and purchase her glasses.  Her vision was so bad that she couldn't read anything written on the board.  Since receiving her glasses there has been a marked improvement in her grades.  Thank you for giving her this gift.

This has been a great week.  No curfew, no sick girls.  There are only three weeks left until graduation, so the girls are busy, studying for final exams and making their graduation dresses.  Graduation is a very big event in the lives of these girls, and we try to make it a day they will never forget. 

We are still under curfew here in Honduras, but the hours have been changed to only at night which is a relief.  Last week we had two solid days of 24 hour curfew.  You can only imagine what it is like to be confined in a house with 20 teenagers for two days without the freedom of going out the front gate.  The night curfew will probably be in effect until things are more politically stable here - that could take a long time.  In the meantime, please continue to pray for Honduras.
