As previously noted a volunteer group of norteamericanos helped prepare the soil and plant lawn grass at the new building site, however, the obdurate Honduran soil produced a 50/50 mixture of weeds and lawn. The children are consequently hard at work every day pulling weeds so that the lawn will be ready for the inauguration of the new building 12 December. The Hogar has also received three new young girls abandoned by their father bringing our number of residents to 18. The children will be provided a clean, modern, hygienic home, adequate food, and a proper education.
