DESEO — In 2017 the DESEO team, made up of 9 employees and 3 volunteers, served 2500 students weekly in 15 public schools. The focus of the morning public school program for 2017 was teaching values through various Bible stories. This team prepared devotionals each week for each of the 15 schools including dynamic songs and skits. The 45-minute lessons taught in each classroom each week were prepared at each grade level. Teachers in the school did a great job of supporting the program by reviewing weekly with the students. Each unit was evaluated with a simple written test given to the students, showing that the children are indeed retaining the lessons that were taught. Additionally, over 200 different children were served with our afternoon programs including basketball, tutoring and our new children’s chorus, CANTO. CANTO had two concerts this year and ended the year by participating with the local church in a Christmas musical. This year DESEO expanded its reach by work with a Kindergarten for the first time. The results were amazing. The DESEO curriculum was adapted for the younger audience and the response from parents and the community was overwhelming.

In 2017 we opened our school, ESPERO, for deaf adults ESPERO — In 2017 we opened our school, ESPERO, for deaf adults. We had 9 deaf adults who started and completed their first-grade year. Material, provided and approved by the Honduran Department of Education, was used and provides an official diploma to the students who complete the sixth grade. ESPERO employed one certified teacher and two teaching facilitators for 2017. There were many challenges, including the students’ lack of a common language as well as learning how to teach deaf people. While church attendance is not a requirement for receiving the free education we offer to the deaf adults in our community, five of our students have accepted Jesus as their Lord and were baptized.
