Tienda de Esperanza

The outside of the store

Andrea taking care of some finishing touches.
For many months a dream has been in the making. A dream for a little store to supplement the income of Casa de Esperanza. Many people have worked hard over the last few months to make this dream a reality. Karen and I have picked out merchandise. Painting had to be done. Furniture moved. Many little details that probably nobody thought of months ago.


Last week Tienda de Esperanza (Store of Hope) became a reality as we opened to the first group. To date we are pleased with the sales. Everything in our store is Honduran made, thus helping some Honduran woman feed her kids as well.


Our friend Nathan came out and painted the mural on the side of the building and he was the one that thought of the name for the store.


Drop in and see us sometime. Perhaps we have that perfect Honduran made item for which you are looking.

Terri,
That is really nice. I invisioned it smaller and am so glad it is big enough to hold a lot of things to sale. I know everyone is going to find this to be a blessing.

I would write more but it is bedtime.

I will email tomorrow night. Another full day ahead.
Love, Ginger
