PRAY for RO4Y as we learn how to navigate through Honduras' new law requiring students to complete their education through the 9th grade. (This was changed from 6th grade.) Our trade school, Taller CDP, found a nitch in the community to minister to this age group once they finished elementary school. Now they are required to continue their education. Yet, how many of them are actually planning to do so? Most don't have the resources or interest to continue. Interesting...
