| The Jiniguare Center |
 |
When the water department of the Honduran Government built one of the reservoirs which serves a large part of the capital city of Tegucigala, they left one village completely cut off from the outside world. Today you can only enter the village of Jiniguare with special permission from the Engineer in charge or by special invitation from the President of the village council. The village has 35 houses, 35 children in a 1 room school house, about 50 children in total who live there. The pastor of the small Baptist Church alone has 12 children of which some have moved to the city to find work because he only has an income of $200 per month.
The houses are of adobe, a construction of clay mud bricks which are formed and left to dry in the sun, once dried they are stacked like blocks to make walls for the houses. The houses have clay tile roofs and most have dirt floors.
The people who live here make a living by various trades, some walk the 3 or so miles to the bus stop so that they can go to work in the city, others grow tomatoes, green peppers, cabbage and other vegatables which they take to sell to vendors in the marketplace in the city.
The professor of the school lives in Tegucigalpa, he rides the bus out to the village of La Nueva Concepcion then walks more than 3 miles each way to reach the small one room school house where he teaches grades 1 through 6 to his 35 attentative students. The village does have running water, a pretty amazing thing considering there is not any type of electricty to be found anywhere within the valley.
The children and families of Jiniguare will meet you with smiles and laughter and a strong God Bless You, many are Christians although some are not and it is for those who have not accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior that we are here.
We pray that God will touch your heart as he has touched ours to sponsor one of these children.
