The continuing story of Carlos

Carlos received a loan from us for his mother to start a little store in their home. This young man seems to beat all odds. He completed 12th grade, he got a job in a restaurant, he borrowed money for his mom to start a small store out of their home……and he has repaid 2500 of the 7500 Lps that he owes. For rural Honduras that is beating all the odds which are against him.

What you can't see is that they only have 2 chairs And one stool.....and that they have no outhouse. But it was so tranquil and beautiful!
