Mission Honduras LeMars was born in the summer of 2002 when Sister Valerie Knoche
(32 years in Honduras)
and Sister Barb Zimmer (22 years in Honduras), both Immaculate Heart of Mary Sisters from Monroe,
Michigan, asked our high school mission program named 'Gehlen Catholic
Mission Honduras 'Changing Lives,' to help them raise funds to build a medical clinic in El Guante, Honduras. We began raising money for the construction of this clinic under the high school program,
Gehlen Catholic Mission Honduras. In the interim a group of supporters met in the summer
of 2002 and began the process of forming a non-denominational, not-for-profit organization, known as 'Mission Honduras LeMars.' In late October 2002 we received our not-for-profit and tax exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service and began raising money for the clinic under the name Mission Honduras LeMars.
In the spring of 2003 the organization reached its goal and construction of
the clinic became a reality.

invisible, believes the impossible, and achieves the incredible! |
