Beginnings
Tucked snugly at the bottom of rolling green mountains, just outside of the city of El Progreso, Honduras, lies a small village called Siete de Abril. The setting is picturesque, but a closer look reveals another story. The people of Siete de Abril live in extreme poverty. Homes are roughly constructed using scraps of corrugated tin and cardboard. There is no clean water, and illness is widespread. More than half of the over four hundred residents are children. It is no surprise then, that when ten year old Carmen Flores talked to Shin Fujiyama, she expressed only one wish – she wanted all of the families in her village to have a home.
