David is back in the country this week. He took a trip to Tegucigalpa, Honduras.  David went with a group of people and spent a week working on a construction project on the only deaf school in Teguicigalpa. In fact, there are only two deaf schools in the entire country of approximatly 8 million people! Needless to say the majority of deaf Hondurans grow up with no means of communication with even their own families. (See some pics from David's trip below)

The name of the deaf school is Happy Hands Deaf School which is a ministry of New Life Deaf Ministries. 

In the spirit of giving back, David and Heath also invited Micahel Drake with the Cities of Service Initiative.
