Micah Technical School, part of The Micah Project in Tegucigalpa Honduras, seeks not to provide a hand out, but provide hope and change lives through practical means:


Monday night discipleship - building the foundation for life change by creating men of character.

Carpentry





Welding


Equipping and releasing the older students to teach younger students.



Providing them an opportunity to reach out and serve
the poor and needy with Friday soccer and dinner.



Teaching them to not only receive, but to give back
and enjoy a sense of community.

Wow -you guys get it! Helping the poor gain dignity through first helping them gain Christian character then helping them develop the skills within them to support themselves, their families and their communities. Their is not enough "foreign aid" in the world to accomplish the transformation you do - and you do it without a penny of government support!
