We waited for a Honduran start time for our meeting with the MICAH personel. (meaning we watched poker for another hour). The team was then brought into the meeting room to learn about an amazing program called MICAH which is working to combat the destructive nature of poverty in Honduras. Kind of like El Hogar, MICAH travels the streets of Tegucigalpa and picks up street kids. However, MICAH is focused especially on abandoned kids who have no support at all, and who normally are addicted to hard drugs. Yellow glue is the most common and dangerous drug they encounter, as it allows for a high so large it can remove the memory of being abandoned as a child. Its addictive properties cause serious health issues when the kids go too long without it. As a result, MICAH finds these addicted kids and transports them to a rehab facility for months, before they come to home base (MICAH 2.0). As told by one of the two speakers, MICAH provides the kids with the love and hope to fill the "empty space" their hearts that comes as a result of being abandoned. Their programs allow for a high school education and scholarships to US colleges. One main difference between El Hogar and MICAH is that MICAH is purely optional and the kids can leave at any time. A depressing result of this is that many kids end up leaving because they can´t stand being away from the drugs as the pain is too much. As a lasting momento, one speaker told us that we should always remember to love and appreciate our parents as they do so much for us. And the pain of being abandoned is nearly unimaginable.
