1 mile = 1 more day in school for a Honduran child

Kids walking to school in rural Honduras

Did you know?: According to UNESCO 47% of the children that start primary school in Honduras won't even finish fifth grade because they have to work to help support their family or they don't have the economical means to continue in school (http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0014/001468/146805e.pdf). These kids will remain in poverty, and not only that they will also most likely turn into thieves, drug dealers, and be part of the huge wage of violence that is affecting Honduras.

To help kids remaining in school, I'm running Ragnar Great River, a 200 mile overnight race, to raise money for OYE Honduras, a non-profit organization that is based in El Progreso, Honduras. I want to raise at least 2000$ for OYE Honduras, so please give me a hand to help in a good cause, by donating 1$ to any amount you can give using the ChipIn link in the right upper corner of this post. You can really change a life.
