Differences between the US and Honduras:
1) U.S: I'm 6' 1"
Honduras: I've gotta be like 7'
2) U.S: People understand hands can be used in sports
Honduras: Concept of hands hasn't caught on.
3) U.S: Lovely petting zoos filled with lambs, goats and horses
Honduras: Scary petting zoos filled with cockroaches, spiders, and lizards... in your bed!
4) U.S: Three square meals a day.
Honduras: Three meals of chicken and beans everyday.
5) U.S: Beautiful airports.
Honduras: A 7-11 with a runway the size of a parking lot.
6) U.S: Lots of children in schools.
Honduras: Most of the children on the streets.
7) U.S: Best clothing stores in the world
Honduras: U.S. hand-me-downs that people wouldn't even give to Goodwill
8) U.S: Christians that seem to have forgotten what it's all about
Honduras: Christians living the life
9) U.S: Teens that spend the majority of their time on themselves
Honduras: U.S. teens who worked hard, spent hard earned money, and forgot about themselves for two weeks.
10) U.S: Mothers protesting for weeks outside in the dirt.
Honduras: Mothers trying to raise a family of 8 on $2.25 a day living in the dirt.
If you've never been to third world country to try to lend a hand I encourage you to give it a thought, Christian or not.
