Testimonials
Our sponsors are making a difference in the lives of children in Honduras with their support which provides a safe, clean environment for the children to learn, play, and develop their faith. Read what our sponsors have to say:
Anne Knauff, Peace Corps volunteer at
Osman Hope shelter in Santa Cruz de Yojoa
What strikes me about these two children, and indeed all of the kids at Osman Hope, is how such simple things such as
- teaching basic life skills
- helping with homework
- training in conflict resolution
- teaching good manners and
- simply showing that someone cares
can make such a dramatic difference in their intellectual, emotional and social development.
Bruce and Susan Woerner
"Bruce and I became sponsors out of the love in our hearts for the children of Honduras. After visiting with them and spending time with them, we were immediately struck with compassion for all of them, and wanted to do whatever we could to help, we realized that they too are God's children and we love them as much as our own. What matters most to us is; 1 Corinthians 13:3b No matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love. 2 John 1:6 Love means living the way God commanded us to live. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is this; Live a life of love. Galatians 5:14 The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself"."
Marg Smeaton
"When looking in the faces of the children of Honduras I see the same bright eyes and hopes for the future I saw in the faces of my own children. My children, as most children in North America, had every opportunity to fulfill their dreams. If I can give just one child at a time in Honduras a chance to break the cycle of poverty how can I say no?"

"It is our pleasure to be able to help in this very worthy cause!"
Nancy and Clark Robertson
"My husband and I sponsor a child because we know that our donation goes directly to the children of Osman Hope. This is a labor of love for those who build the shelters and raise the funds to buy building materials and simple living necessities. We all dream of a better future for children whose options are so limited. We've been so blessed in our lives, it's time to give to others."
Brent and Mary Tennant
"We sponsor a child in Osman Hope because this program is one way for Honduras to break the cycle of poverty that grips this beautiful country and people. God has so richly blessed us with material possessions that we should share with those in need. We also know the money will be used for its intended purpose and not be spent on other things."
Karen Flanigan
"I send money to Osman Hope because I know that ALL my money is going to the children. It is the one organization that can make such a promise to the sponsors."
Peggy Reihl
"I enjoy sponsoring a child through Osman Hope because I know exactly where my money is going and what it is being used for. It is much more personal when you know the name of the child you are helping and have a picture of them. Since my friends work closely with Osman Hope in building the shelters, it makes me feel as though I am a part of it too, by helping support them. It makes me feel good to know that I am helping someone who really needs it."
