Visit to the College(secondary school)

Wednesday we visited the College in Las Vegas where the two oldest Martinez sisters will travel every morning by bus.  They will attend school from 8-1 five days a week and which will  begin on Monday.  We waited to meet the principal who was very nice and will do everything to help the girls.  We even have a teacher friend who will help tutor if needed.  Rodilio wanted us to see the Home for the Aging.  This is a project that is unheard of in Honduras.  One side is lined with cots for women and the other for men and they share a courtyard and meals in the dining room.  It was very clean and everyone was so friendly.  The project was built with money from a church and priest in Spain.  The priest at one time lived in Las Vegas.  In the evening we were part of an interview on the local TV station, promoting the Seeds of Liberty School and also talking about the support of American people who we represented.  The new Mayor saw the interview and called to meet us for dinner.  We shared with her our desire to get a new home for the Martinez family.  She wants to meet us at their house on Sat.  She is a very kind, humble person who worked for the Red Cross for 13 years before running for mayor. Big day planned on Thursday/
