The Cloudbase Foundation in Honduras


https://www.facebook.com/cloudbasefoundation/posts/1829588687052624



Back in 2014, while scoping a new launch site, members of the
Asociación de Parapentismo de Honduras (APH) along with visiting pilots, were
greeted by about 50 children from the village of La Brisas de San Francisco. The
question was raised about why some of the children were in uniform and others
not, and ultimately a project was born. Over the past 4 years, the APH has
worked with the Cloudbase Foundation to provide school supplies and uniforms,
which are mandatory for school attendance, to over 200 children at the Escuela
Bendicion de Dios! We are happy to be continuing our work this year, assisting
with the construction and provisioning of a computer room that will connect this
school to the world and give the students the technology to maximise their
education! Find out more at

A beautiful write up and some incredible pictures from one of our pilots and
volunteers, Patrick Joyce, who recently returned home from Honduras. The
Cloudbase Foundation has been supporting local education here, in the areas of
Villa de San Francisco and Valle de Angele, Honduras' first established
paragliding sites.


"Still dreaming of this incredible day! It started with a visit to Escuela Rural
Mixta Francisco Morazan, meeting with the teacher and getting some ideas for the
next school project. We continued down the mountain where the teachers and
students at Escuela Bendicion de Dios had prepared a thank you ceremony for the
Asociación de Parapentismo de Honduras and The Cloudbase Foundation!"


"There were decorations, traditional dances, hula hoops, speeches, and many many
thank you's. It was such an honor to be a part of! All the thanks go to Jeffrey
Miller, Diana Medina de Miller, Argenis Vialobo, and Didier C Torres, the rest
of the APH, and the donors of the Cloudbase Foundation which made the grant
possible. The first coat of paint is up on the walls and the computers should be
installed very soon!"


"We then drove up to launch with a crowd of kids trailing behind on the jeep
trail, where the students got to see us launch, probably almost all of them for
the first time, after many days of watching us circle in the sky above the
school. Honduras delivered again with a big climb and Argenis and I had a
gorgeous cross-country flight over the dense mountain jungle of La Tigre
National Park."


"I left Honduras awed, inspired, and excited for the future!"
