Thread: Hello from Florida

If you are still interested in a school or orphanage visit there, I have been told about another children's home that is closer to the cruise ship pier. I'll get the information for you if you would like...

That would be great. Our group is sure to be interested.

Please understand that I have never visited there, or been in contact with them, so I can't really tell you anything about this particular place... but here is some information I found about them, and it should give you a starting place:

The Majken Broby Children’s Home in Gravel Bay (www.roatanchildrenshome.com) is an orphanage located very close to the cruise ship pier, and it houses young children and teens. A list of what the orphanage currently needs is available on their website, and items can be dropped off at the children’s home. Desired items include children’s vitamins, children’s Tylenol, backpacks, shampoo, liquid soap, children’s books in English, children’s music CD’s, and school supplies. For more information about visits and donations of supplies, contact lynn@roatanchildrenshome.com

Thanks Canarymoon, we'll put the info to good use.

Happy to help!
