Today is Giving Tuesday—a day where people around the world come together to transform the world through generosity. I can’t think of a better way to embrace this spirit of giving than partnering with YOU to change lives in Honduras.
I am reaching out today to invite you to join us in our mission to purchase a John Deere 4105 tractor with a loader and brush hog, along with a few other attachments, for the Agriculture School of Valle de Sula Choloma. This is an opportunity to make a profound, lasting impact on the students and their community.
Why this tractor matters:
Empowering Students: The tractor will enable students to gain hands-on agricultural experience, helping them build the skills they need to create a sustainable future.
Improved Productivity: With a tractor, the school’s farm will be more efficient, allowing students to grow more food and produce higher yields.
Sustainable Impact: As students learn to operate vital machinery, they will also be developing sustainable farming practices that will serve them and their community for years to come.
A Stronger Community: The farm supports not only the school but also the local community, providing fresh produce and creating economic opportunities.
In May, I had the privilege of visiting this great school with several staff members from Midwest Mission. During our visit, we met students like Leo, who is not only excelling in his academic studies but is also learning to grow plantains, harvest them, and turn them into plantain chips for sale at the local market.
This hands-on experience gives him the skills and opportunities needed to build a better future, and with the addition of a tractor, we can expand these opportunities for Leo and his classmates. They will be able to plant and harvest 22 acres of corn, and increase the amount of plantains that are harvested.
But we can’t do it alone. We have less than 16 hours remaining to reach our $25,000 goal—the amount needed to purchase the tractor and its attachments and send it to the school.
How you can help:

Thank you for considering this life-changing opportunity. Your generosity today will leave a lasting impact.
