Building a Better Future for Honduran Children

Lego Mindstorms has taught us how to coexist with the world in the best possible way. In this case, through the Earth Allies challenge—an initiative that seeks to raise awareness about the relationship between people and the planet, and how our actions can contribute positively to its well-being and conservation.

The Annual Robotics Competition was held in Yamaranguila on October 17th of this year, where six teams competed for the top three places.

Teams are prepared in advance to take on the challenge presented to them. With a laptop or tablet and a bit of imagination, they program a robot using code, designed to help them analyze how robots can contribute to better coexistence with the Earth.

The Robotics Competition was a great success. The local mayors’ association once again took part in the competition, promoting innovation, creativity, and technological learning in the region. They play a fundamental role in organizing and carrying out the event, ensuring efficiency in the different stages of the competition process and encouraging active participation from students and communities.

Special Visit

This year, we were honored by the visit of Shoulder to Shoulder’s president, Richard Buten, and Executive Director Laura Manship, who joined us for this annual robotics event. Both recognized the performance of the teams in the competition, reaffirming their commitment to continue supporting more young people through the expansion of educational equipment.

When a child opens a book, they open a door to a world of possibility — discover how Intibucá is turning pages and changing lives through the power of reading.

In the mountains and valleys of Intibucá, reading has begun to bloom once again. From first grade classrooms to the final steps of high school, the 2025 Reading Program has sparked excitement across the department—strengthening not only reading skills but also leadership, critical thinking, and self-confidence in our students.

Every page read is a seed planted. Each story shared in the classroom opens a window to the world for our students. This program doesn’t just create readers—it shapes human beings with greater awareness, empathy, and a vision for the future.

Through the Kolibri platform and the books shared in PDF format, we are overcoming geographic and technological barriers so that all students have the opportunity to participate, learn, and grow through reading.

We are convinced that reading is a way to resist, to dream, and to grow. The 2025 Reading Program is living proof that when communities, teachers, students, and allies work shoulder to shoulder, an entire world of possibilities opens up.

We take this opportunity to express our deepest gratitude to our donors, who—with generosity and vision—have believed in the transformative power of education. Thank you for walking alongside our girls and boys on their journey toward fulfilling their dreams.
