The communities request vitamins, beany babies, toy cars, Frisbees, jacks, balls, dolls and any fast food toys that can be brought to Honduras, children’s clothes, toiletries, vitamins, etc. We need sponsorship to buy piñatas, cakes and also Bible coloring books and Crayons. CSP takes part of the Christmas Holidays in the communities where there is active participation. That is why we request people from the US to help us distribute gifts to the different families. Usually families need clothes, toys, food, vitamins, etc. Due to the difficulties that many mothers have to face when having children in the different hospitals and health clinics throughout Honduras, we have started a ministry called the “First Breath Ministry”. The purpose of this ministry is to provide diapers, diaper pins, clothes, toiletries, calcium, vitamins, and hygiene products for the mothers and plastic bathtubs. Scholarships are also another way to empower the communities. You can donate to sustain a child in the urban or rural communities. There is follow up and constant communications with the communities. *There are side costs when CSP staff has to travel to the different communities. Please contact the CSP in order to make sure what the costs are. If you or your institution is interested in supporting the CSP in with the yearly budget, feel free to contact us. We also have institutional projects that help us to provide a better service to the missionaries and some of them need funding, they are: - Acquisition of a small shuttle to transport the teams. We already have US $1,250 and are in need of US $ 4,100 to be able to pay for the total amount which is US $ 5,350. - A used sound system that can be used to evangelize the communities and that may be used by the teams that want to do VBS. - A used projector that can be hooked up with the sound system and may be used to give orientation to the teams, VBS, to show Christian movies to the communities, to be used in community meetings where there is development training. - Tools that can be used in the different projects in order to benefit the communities. - Christian Movies for adults and children that are in Spanish.
