This is one of our clubfoot patients, Angel Jose. He lights up with smiles when he sees the camera — I just love him!
All countries, at some point, face problems that affect the well-being of their inhabitants. Honduras has suffered many such times, especially since the coup d’état in June of 2009. Socially, politically, and financially, Honduras has not been the same since that event, and we have seen our country deteriorate. Elections in 2010 held some promise for change, but we, as Hondurans, have not seen much of it yet.
For NGO’s like CURE International, the situation has a significant impact. The type of people we serve are those who are underprivileged, and their access to the necessities of life becomes a challenge. Read the rest of this entry »
I’ve been back in San Pedro now for almost a month, so I figured I should give a little update! Despite the inevitable bumps along the road that life always brings, the year is off to a great start for CURE Honduras.
I got back on January 4th from the being in the US for Christmas and New Years. The break was just beautiful and relaxing in almost every way. I got to ride my horse (and my sister’s), and I got my fill of nieces and nephews (Well I’m not sure if it’s possible to ever get my fill, but at least I got to spend time with them and see all of them growing so big and preciously as they are). I could go into so much detail about a fun-filled two weeks at home with family and dear friends, but I will just say it’s just what I needed — to spend time with some of the people closest to me.

Yesterday was our last full day of work for 2011 at CURE Honduras. We had a busy day of removing lots of casts and making new appointments for after the new year.
Jasmin
It’s always a joy to see the finished result of our patients after a long journey of treatment. We had two of those today, Jasmin and Astrid. Jasmin had nerve damage in her neck and arm, and before her surgery her left arm was practically useless. She wasn’t able to move it from her side. Now you can see that she has strength and can lift it to her face! Read the rest of this entry »

CUREkids has brought the work of CURE to your inbox and Facebook wall through the lives of the kids we’re privileged to serve, but now our kids want to hear from you. That’s why we’re pleased to announce CUREkids Get Well messages!
Now your family has the chance to share words of encouragement with a child in a CURE hospital. Here’s how:
Get Well messages are a great new way to become part of the ministry of CURE International. They’re also a wonderful opportunity to connect your own children to kids thousands of miles away that need their love and encouragement.
So what are you waiting for?
There are kids in CURE hospitals that need your encouragement today.
Last week, I sent this get well message to a young girl at CURE Kenya named Kiloret and received the following reply this weekend.
Hi Mr. Worrall –
My name is Jenny. I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to send a Get Well message to Kiloret. Her mom seriously couldn’t stop thanking me, and her and the other Maasai people in the room kept raving about your picture with Eliana…
Kiloret, meet Joel & his baby Eliana
I’m pretty sure her mom loves you…she couldn’t stop saying “Asante”. And the guy on the right is our surgery tech, Peter, who graciously translated your message into Maasai…how awesome is that!?
Thanks so much for investing in Kiloret & CUREkids. You’ve blessed Kiloret and her family in a way I can’t actually express…
His,
Jenny England ::: CUREkids Coordinator – Kenya
