When our young Passionist Volunteers arrived in Talanga, Honduras last summer to begin their year of service, one of the first things they noticed was little children competing with dogs for scraps of food in a dumpster. They decided to do something about it. The result? Comedor Infantil Pasionista.
Comedor Infantil Pasionista is a project inaugurated by Passionist Volunteers International in collaboration with the local community that provides a hot lunch to malnourished children aged 4-6.
