This home, just north of the capitol city of Tegucigalpa, houses a family of six children and their mother; shown in photo below. It is a typical scene found in rural Honduras.

The family above live in the shack pictured atop this picture.  The shack is shown directly behind them in the above photo.  Francis Seivert gave medicines, soaps, clothes, and new shoes that were donated from Mission Honduras LeMars to this family.

   
The picture on the left shows Francisco Torres, treated at the Mayo Clinic for tetrology of fallot, with Francis Seivert in 2002.  On the right, a healthy Francisco - in the spring of 2006.

The picture above right shows the Clinica Asistencial La Caridad which was built by Mission Honduras LeMars funds. Pictured left is the new clinic annex.  The clinic is under the control of the Ministry of Health in Honduras.

Be a life long or short, its completeness depends on what it was lived for.                                               ~ David Starr Jordan
