and respectful of the different perspectives, methods and processes that might exist. This amalgamation of cultures requires a deep sense of humility, a respect of different and unique viewpoints and an honest openness to the possibility of change on the part of participants in these brigades. Another aspect of AMIGA’s mission includes the collection of fundamental health care items as well as other items needed to meet basic human needs that are desperately needed by the people of Honduras. Items are collected in the states, then shipped to Honduras. The shipments are distributed through AMIGA in collaboration with local leaders in Honduras. Additionally, AMIGA has been able to establish scholarships for secondary school students through individual sponsorship and funds raised through distribution efforts. In return, students commit to helping their country by organizing goods from shipments and working on medical brigades. As we plant the seeds of God’s love through our mission, a third aspect of our vision evolves. We hope not only to support our family in Honduras, but for all members affiliated with this organization both in Honduras and the United States to grow into more tolerant, compassionate, and complete human beings.
