After an unforgettable year
volunteering in Guatemala, I was seeking ways to remain connected with the
pequeños. By sponsoring Socorro* and Leonardo* , I am able to continue the
relationship we started in Guatemala and carry that into the present. It brings
such a smile to my face when I receive any bit of news, a hand-drawn picture,
or a heartfelt letter. Sponsoring Socorroand Leonardo* has allowed me to feel
connected to both the boys and the entire home beyond the year I spent
there. -Kristina Nicchi

"Three years ago our family
made our first visit to NPH Honduras. We accompanied our friends, the
Stevens family on a visit during the Christmas holidays in 2011. Since
that time we have returned each year to continue to deepen a wonderful, growing
relationship between our family and the children and staff at the Rancho.
Our two small children; Alice (7) and Muriel (5) love to spend time with their
friends and god sisters there. I feel that those relationships provide
our children with a perspective that is otherwise very difficult to
teach. During the year our girls frequently talk about their friends at
the Rancho and our experiences there. With each trip to the Rancho, as we
grow closer to the children, I find it is more difficult to return home.
I hope to someday arrange for our family to take an extended stay at the Rancho
but for now we enjoy the memories of our last visit and count the days until
our next." -Mike Einhorn
