Recently I have been talking with Mafer to further organize the upcoming trip to Honduras. It hasn't hit me that there are only 10 days left until I leave! I'm trying to make it so that I won't be doing everything last minute, but knowing me, I'm pretty sure it will end up that way no matter my efforts. Anyways, Mafer has spoken with the orphanage, and so far the plan is that we will be there only for Monday instead of Sunday and Monday. The orphanage will be closed on Sunday, which we didn't know. However, this will give us more time to plan the mural, which has been explicitly approved, and organize the day before.
As for donations to the orphanage, we will definitely not be giving a sum of money to the orphanage, because I would like to see the kids immediately benefit from our efforts in a way that will make them visibly happy. Of course, the orphanage would use the money well, but I don't know what eactly they'd use it for or when. Thus, we will buy items like toys and clothing and give them directly to the kids. I'm still not sure if we will buy the items here or in Honduras. It may be better to buy them here, seeing as the clothing will definitely be cheaper (a lot will be donated for free) and it will be preorganized and more reliable.
