We are living on the north side of Roatán but we recently spent an afternoon in some communities on the south side of the island. A few weeks ago, after we did our school work, we went to Flowers Bay with the students. We traveled there in typical Roatán style, with six people in the back seat of Nic’s truck. In Flowers Bay, we went to an organization called the Abundant Life Foundation. The Abundant Life Foundation is a non-profit organization run by Americans. They opened a school in 2011, and another school and church in 2015. Their most recent project, that we got to see, is Los Sueños, the dreams. ALF has built 30 two bedroom homes on one piece of land, and they are helping islanders take out a loan to buy a house. While they are helping the islanders, they are also creating an intentional community, where they want people to want to live. If you are interested in learning more or donating, click here.
After being at the Abundant Life Foundation, we took a bus to Coxen Hole. One of the students, Tessa, was our “tour guide” along the way. When we got to Coxen Hole, we went to Made In Roatán, a small gift shop where everything is made by people living on the island. We bought some gifts, before returning to our home. It was a very fun afternoon!
