Known for being somewhat shy and quiet, this is Jeancarlos. The one place he isn't shy is on the soccer field. He enjoys giving it everything he has in an energetic game of soccer in his free time. An excellent student in school, he dreams of serving his country one day by joining the police force. For now, he serves his family by gathering the firewood needed each day for cooking and keeping warm when it is cold. His family consists of his parents and two brothers. A common meal in their household is simply rice.

Teupasenti

---

Teupasenti is a picturesque town of about 30,000 people nestled in the hills of southeast Honduras. In an area that depends largely on agriculture, the population must either own sizable tracts of land, which few do, or depend on the harvest of the region's only cash crop of coffee. This “opportunity" separates men and women from their families for 3-4 months out of the year while only partially for the needs of their home. Left unattended, many children are forced to fend for themselves or live with grandparents who are not able to adequately provide for their needs.

About the same size as Tennessee, Honduras is a diverse country of nine million people located in Central America. Drastic unemployment and hopelessness fuel violent gang activity all over the country. Seeking a better future, tens of thousands leave in search of a better life.
