Planting seeds to One Day Grow

Books

Read about Sister Maria Rosa Leggol's gutsy crusade to rescue and raise tens of thousands of Honduran orphans:

One day in 1966, in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, a short, plump Catholic nun bent on funding her mission sprinted across the airport tarmac to stop a plane from taking off. On board was the country’s richest man. The help she received from him that day triggered a dramatic chain of events resulting in the rescue and education of tens of thousands of destitute children in the second-poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Since then, the indomitable Sister Maria Rosa Leggol’s Sociedad Amigos de los Niños (SAN) organization has blossomed into a network of homes, schools, farms, clinics, and micro-businesses that empower poor Hondurans to live and work with dignity, breaking generational cycles of poverty.
