The Gift of a Future: A letter from Fr. Emil

In Honduras, Liberia, and the Dominican Republic, we have orphanages, grade schools, high schools, a trade school, boys towns, girls towns, resident houses for university students, and a project for abandoned mothers and their children. We are now helping more than a thousand children complete their education. We do not just sustain poor children, orphans, and abandoned mothers. We want to help them prepare to sustain themselves - to give them a chance to have a brighter future. When you help one person out of poverty by empowering them to take care of their own needs you give them dignity, self-esteem, and self-assurance. That is the ultimate goal of all of our projects and programs. We want to help people help themselves through education.

But education by itself does not make people better. In poverty stricken countries, people usually just do whatever it takes to survive. We strive to give an integral education. That is, we educate the whole person. One essential part of that education is teaching them about their faith and the importance of leading a moral life. If we just educate academically and make that person a professional without God, his normal reaction will be to use his education to get everything he can for himself. Only with God in their hearts can people see the world correctly and see their profound obligations toward their brothers and sisters on this planet. Only with a profound relationship with God can we successfully fight against greed, corruption, and selfishness in our own hearts and in the world around us.

All of our programs are helping to sustain and educate children and to give them hope and a life with a future. We hope that you will become our partners in serving Jesus in His poor brothers and sisters.

Peace, Love, and Joy,

Father Emil

Your sponsorship is the source of an education based on Christian values
The sponsorship program is an integral key to the success of Mission Honduras International and those it serves. As a sponsor, you will receive correspondence and a photograph periodically. We encourage you to write to your sponsored child and even come to visit and get to know him or her. The children look forward to receiving your letters, especially if they contain photographs, and they really enjoy corresponding and coming to know their Sponsors. The Mission will translate all of the letters, but if you speak Spanish, please let us know. If your child withdraws from our program, you will be given another to support. Please send all correspondence to the Chicago address listed on the Contact Us page.
