Durand, I do not know anyone who has been to that orphanage, but NOTHING on Roatan is far from the pier. I believe it is not far from Coxen Hole, where the pier is. As for what you bring, I think that the children and their staff will care more that you took time to visit them, than about how much you bring them.

The best way to get info about what they need, and how to get there would be to get in touch with Lynn, who manages the Roatan Childrens Home | Majken Broby Childrens Home, Roatan Orphanage website.

On the needs page, Roatan Children's Home | Orphanage on Roatan, it says:"If you would like to visit the Children's Home
please call Lynn at (925) 932-8625
or email her at lynn@RoatanChildrensHome.com"

Lynn keeps in close contact with the staff and can give you the most up to date info. She can tell you what the staff would like, what the children need, and maybe more important, what the children do not need.

I am so glad you are doing this. The other orphanage on the island is not taking visitors while they reorganize, so this is really the only option for the time being.

I just ask one favor: when you return, could you post on CruiseLineFans what your visit was like? We have a lot of people interested in helping, and we don't know what to tell them about what to expect.
