Nazareth needs ninetyFriday, November 18, 2011
Welcome and thank you for stopping by! The students of Escuelita Nazareth have just finished another successful school year. However, our work in continuing to support them is not done. The Nazareth Needs Ninety campaign is a fundraising project with the goal of collecting $98,000 in order to keep the doors of Nazareth open.
Escuelita Nazareth is the only special needs school serving individuals with mental and physical disabilities in the department of Olancho, Honduras. This school has brought joy to so many in the Olancho community as well as given acceptance and opportunities for personal, intellectual and spiritual growth to those who may not have otherwise been afforded the chance.
Help us in our fight to keep Nazareth open, continuing to serve special needs students by donating online here OR sending a check by direct mail to: PO Box 15, Rockland, MA 02370.
(The Olancho Aid Foundation, Inc. is 501(c)(3) U.S. registered non-profit organization. All donations made are tax deductible.)

Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask...Thursday, February 03, 2011
“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
- Howard Thurman
On January 26, 2011, Jenna Agule (22), a member of the Olancho Aid Family, was tragically killed during a skiing accident in Colorado. Jenna became part of the Olancho Aid Family in 2006 when the organization welcomed its first parish group from St. Elizabeth’s of Hungary of Acton, Massachusetts. Having shared two trips to Juticalpa with Jenna, it never ceased to amaze me how she dedicated herself to working hard and bringing laughter and joy to all those around her. Not once did she stop smiling and her spirit illuminated the group through the darkest and most difficult moments. Her love, spirit and smile will forever be an inspiration to those who were blessed with her presence.
On behalf of the Olancho Aid Family, we extend our condolences and prayers to her family and friends. We also thank you for sharing in Jenna’s love to our organization and its mission and welcome you to the Olancho Aid Family.
One year: 53 faces of hope for HondurasMonday, January 17, 2011
It has been nearly one year since the official launch of the Olancho Aid scholarship program. We now welcome 53 children with financial assistance into the schools of Olancho Aid to receive higher education. The program has flourished during the last year and Olancho Aid is now able to help the children in poverty by providing them with not only outstanding education but food, school supplies, clothing, and more.
