Honduras Lent 2011 Primary Resource

Hola!

My name is Digna.

I am 5 years old.

Hola is “Hello� in Spanish. In Honduras we speak Spanish.

I live in the Community of La Confianza, in Honduras.

Here everyone works together to get all the work in the community done.

I really like being a part of La Confianza.

My favourite job is sweeping the floor in front of our tent.

I try to sweep up all the bits of dirt on the ground. The brush is made from branches we gathered and tied together.
