Mama Tara Orphanage - Puerto Lempira

The children that Mama Tara cares for have either lost both parents or were abandoned.  The orphanage was originally housed in a wooden house built on stilts over the lagoon.  Recently a concrete block building was built to house the children.  One wing houses boys; the other, girls; and Mama Tara sleeps in the breezeway between the two wings.  The "new" building still doesn't have electricity or plumbing.  Cooking is done on an adobe-type stove.  Even without the "comforts" of running water, lights, fans, screens or heat, the children feel the "comfort" of Mama Tara's unconditional love.
