Mac Stone, a Photographer from Gainesville, Florida has been working for two years in Las Mangas, Honduras for a non-profit called Guaruma. The organization concentrates its efforts in the east sector of Pico Bonito National Park where students have the opportunity to enroll in a local environmental education project. The students from Las Mangas range in ages 8 to 17.
Mac recently met up with the Peacepassers to take some of your gear donations to the children of Las Mangas. The soccer team in Las Mangas is one of many in the river valley area. Every weekend they get together to play other teams in the area, sometimes they travel to the city of La Ceiba for tournaments. The donation of uniforms and equipment was well received and the children quickly fought over their favorite numbers. This weekend (May 2nd) will be their first game with the new jerseys.
