The Warehouse will be closed this Sunday due to Memorial day weekend.
Tina and Cathy have returned from their trip to Honduras and Nicaragua.
They have distributed donations to Hondurans living in poverty, together with the First Lady of Honduras.
They also met with the president of a wonderful Honduran NGO called ‘FUNAG’. FUNAG has been successfully helping Honduran people in need for years. SimplyHelp promised to send them a container with donations, which has been sent out this weekend. In other words: The trip was very successful.
After Honduras Tina and Cathy travelled to Nicaragua for a project assessment and were struck by the poverty they encountered.
Tina and Cathy were saddened by the high number of children walking barefoot.
SimplyHelp intends to provide these children with a pair of good shoes to walk on.
If you know of any tennis shoe manufactorer whom might be interested in working with SimplyHelp on this project, please get in contact with me or Tina.
