1. Habitat for Humanity is one way that people can help their neighbors. What are some of the ways people in your community help their neighbors?
Actually, at the moment there is no community program to help neighbors. Just when a neighbor has a visible problem, volunteers always show up to help.
Sometimes there are various situations such as in the town of “Las Tejerias” where the flooding of the rivers and streams take away everything in their path, leaving a large number of deaths, victims and destruction. In these cases, all kinds of organizations appear asking for donations for the victims.
Walker says that learning to play the piano is going to be hard for him. What is, for you, the hardest thing you are learning to do now?
Why are you learning it?
Well, the truth is, as a retired professor it has been very difficult for me to start a new job such as transportation. This has represented, above all, a new work context; this has meant a different environment, different people, different activities and the development of new skills to survive in a country in crisis, where teachers and professors have been dragged into critical poverty…
by the way, car mechanics is very exciting.
Thank you Maestro.

The more known here in Honduras is Habitat for Humanity they help to build houses, and you must invest your time and contribute to the handwork in conjunction with them. Thinking it well I don’t heared about another Organization that contributes in the same way as they do it. Also, there are enterprises that offer as a way of social work, they send their employees to specific communities to help pour families to build their own houses the unique requirement is to be the owner of a terrain or lot and to help in the construction.
Thank you so much
