Honduran Children in Need

SAN PEDRO SULA, HONDURAS - Seven year old Marco lives in a small clay brick house with sixteen other family members.

His mother Maria is raising Marco and his three siblings alone. Everyday she makes 400 tortillas to sell at the local market to support her family. She says most of the money she makes she reinvests in corn to make more tortillas. The rest of the money goes to buying food for her family, but she says it's not enough.

Marco is looking for a sponsor through World Vision to give him access to a better education, proper nutrition and improved health care.
