OUR LITTLE ROSES MINISTRIES - A MINISTRY OF LOVE, HOPE AND JUSTICE San Pedro Sula, Honduras
Written by Mrs. Mayra

Honduras has an estimated population of almost eight million people. (67.3% (4.992.792) of the population are under 30 years old and 63% of the population lives in poverty.) 1. Honduras became independent from Spain in 1821 and all Hondurans celebrate its independence on September 15.

The girls from Our Little Roses Ministries are always on the first row to participate in the different activities that the schools have to celebrate. Independence Day. This year was not the exception and all of the girls got involved to commemorate this important date. Some of them played in the band, and others were cheerleaders.


CHILDREN DAY- SEPTEMBER 10

High school students from Holy Family Bilingual School celebrated Children Day with the girls from Our Little Roses. The girls received gifts, and had fun with games and a talent show where both groups showed off their talents. They also enjoyed a delicious lunch that the students offered them. 


LIVING AT OUR LITTLE ROSES MINISTRIES
Vanesa, Jackeline, Ingrid, Iris, Damaris, Kathy & Suyapa

Living in an orphanage could not be an outstanding experience, but living at Our Little Roses makes a difference. OLRM is NOT an orphanage, it is a HOME. It is a peaceful and loving place where the girls are loved and cared for. Being part of the transformation of the girls is also a long life transformational experience for the staff involved in OLRM.

It is heartbreaking to see the new girls the very first day they are moved from IHNFA (Honduran Governmental shelter) to OLRM. It is so sad to see their little faces, so sad, without a vision for the future and without hope. They are full of loneliness and hopeless, but at OLR they find love, companionship, friendship and the sisterhood. They come to realize that they too can have a vision and hope for the future. They develop relationships and friendships with the other girls that will last a life time. It is something amazing to witness.


2011 is almost ending and this year OLRM has received 6 new girls: Suyapa (December 4, 2004) and her sister Ingrid (January 3, 2007), Bianca, (November 15, 1996), Genesis (September 26, 1997) and the newest girls Martha (3 years old) and her youngest sister Suyapa (1 year old).


DENTAL CARE:
Our Little Roses has their very own dentist - Jensy. From living in the slums to becoming a dentist – what a success story! Jensy is completing an internship and will graduate in December 2011. 
Jensy shares, “Thanks to the support of people like you, we have the opportunity to improve our lives and build a future in which we can become professionals and Christian women serving God, so we can give back, and also help people who need us.” Jensy arrived to Our Little Roses at the age of 9 years old and her dreams to become a dentist were stronger after she was taken to the dentist to fix her teeth and she got braces. Jensy's dreams became a reality thanks to the support of many people of God. "Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver " 2 Corinthian 9:7

The Dentistry career is one of the most expensive careers in Honduras. School supplies, tools and medical equipment are very expensive, but the fruits of all the efforts is praiseworthy and now Our Little Roses not only have a dentist, but also a dental clinic equipped to provide dental care, not only to the girls and staff from Our Little Roses, but also to serve the community.


BRACES: Ana Ruth, Leily, Wendoly and Eduviges are four of the girls from Our Little Roses Ministries that are fortunate to receive the braces' treatment to fix their teeth and soon they will enjoy of a brighter smile. The cost of each Braces' treatment is $1,800.00 which include installation of braces and dental visitation. The treatment last two years.


There are 6 more girls than need braces. Any support to the Dental Fund will be highly appreciated.


THANK YOU FOR HELPING TO TRANSFORM A GIRL'S LIFE!!
