Honduras 2013

Find the need. Meet the need. Help change a nation...



Thanks to BLICK art supplies and a few donations from my friends and family back home, I was able to lead an art activity to a select group of creative and extremely talented girls.

Our group also had the opportunity to visit the Mayan Ruins in Copan, Honduras...
