My Heart For Honduras: Blog Action Day 2008
Today, October 15, 2008 is Blog Action Day. The theme this year is Poverty. My Heart For Honduras, the title of this post is also the title of a web site I have set up to support the mission efforts of a mission team I am on. The team will be going to San Pedro Sula, Honduras, July 11 - 18, 2009.
Here are some statistics of the poverty in Honduras:
Statistics
The area of Honduras, San Pedro Sula, is not considered the poorest of areas compared to other areas of Honduras. But the standard of living is devastatingly poor compared to middle class U. S. standards. I am told that despite the living conditions, the Honduran people are friendly, and joyful.
You may not be going to Honduras to serve the people, or any other place in need, but you can be just as an important member of the mission endeavor by supporting us to raise the funds to go to Honduras. You may think that in these uncertain economic times, I have all I can do to just keep my own family from being in the "poor house". Do you need to Christmas shop? Click through to My Heart For Honduras to see how you can just do your regular shopping, and help our fund raising with no extra cost.

Hey,
Writing a blog about Kansas City real estate and investing keeps me busy. Selling real estate in Kansas City keeps me busier. Because of the amount of business I receive through this very blog, referrals and previous customers I don’t really do any other advertising. Other realtors I know find this to be simply unbelievable. But it’s true.
