From the ROHI Staff:
We thank God for his love and faithfulness in the month of August. It was a month where we saw the grace of God at all times.
Today we want to say a THOUSAND THANKS to each person who helps ROHI comprehensively serve the population of the Tegucigalpa municipal garbage. Thank you for helping us to have completed another year of working with and ministering to these students and their families.
Additionally, we thank God that the students are very motivated to continue studying formally for their future and that there has been very little desertion this school year.

PSALMS 23:1
ROHI Project aims to provide comprehensive care to the children, youth, and their families who live and work in the Tegucigalpa, Honduras, municipal dump. The project name ROHI is inspired from one of the Hebrew names for God, Jehovah Rohi meaning “the Lord is my shepherd” as seen in Psalm 23.
