One week to Ragnar! Run 4 Oye makes it to the RagMag!

There is only one week to Ragnar Great River and I'm getting busy organizing the last details for the team. It is crazy that it is almost race day! I can't wait to be in the road with hopes that the effort that I'm putting into the race is actually going to help somebody in Honduras.

The best part of all... Ragnar decided to pick my story and OYE's story to be featured in the RagMag. I hope that helps to bring people to visit this wedsite and maybe OYE Hondura's website, so that more help comes for all these kids that need it so much.

Everyday several kids in Honduras drop out of school in order to work to support their family. The truth is... they can't really find jobs... so they turn into stealing and selling drugs. It is heart breaking when you see or stop a 6 year old from stealing somebody's phone or a calculator from a backpack, and it makes you wonder "Where has the world gone wrong?".

But the truth is... that is doesn't matter where it went wrong... it matters what I can do. I can do something...  We can do something.... We are the change. Help me fundraise $2000... We are almost half way there... That money will help at least two Honduran young adults to remain in college and bring a better future for my country. Donate by using the ChipIn link in the right upper corner of this website. The money will go directly to OYE Honduras.

If you want to see some of the kids that you will help and some of the things that OYE does, visit the following youtube video: "We are the change".

I also want to thank all of you who have already help. It really means a lot to me and the people in Honduras!
