Lifesong — Honduras Overview
Lifesong for Orphans is partnering with Tree of Life Ministry (TOLM) to provide orphan care in Honduras.
Tree of Life Ministry is working in Honduras to provide HOPE to the Hopeless, HELP to the Helpless, & HEALING to the Hurting.
TOLM's vision is to reach out and meet the physical needs of other. By doing so, TOLM "will give to them the catalyst that will change their lives, destinies, and futures; aiming them more accurately toward their eternal purpose and destinations."
Some of TOLM's goals include:
- Providing an education to the poorest of youth
- Providing food to the poorest of youth
- Providing vocational training & micro-business opportunities
- Providing free medical and dental clinics to those in need
- Training young people to give back to their communities
- Reaching people in the jungles of the Mosquito Coast
Currently, there are 550 children living on the Escalon campus. Escalon is translated "escalator" and is used to describe the children's escalator out of poverty/brokenness. These children live on the campus and attend school here as well. In addition to school, the staff provides job skill training/micro-business opportunities, such as: glass etching, a bakery, growing a private label coffee, and two small retail stores. Each student is equipped with hands-on experience and challenged to open a business within the community in order to learn new skills and potentially generate income for their family.

New Students
The weekend of February 6th all of the students arrived for the school year 2010, we registered around 450 students. This number is up from past years, but we also have more new enrollees than in previous years. We literally have had to clear out storage rooms to create more space to house all of them. It is obvious which direction we will need to take with the next building project, adding on to the existing boys' dorms to accommodate for the increase in enrollments. learn more >>
