AJC AHLE Facility

Accion Humana de la Luz Eterna (A.H.LE)

The Honduran foundation of AHLE has 3 founding fathers: Alexander Valentin with Acción Humana in Germany, Dr. Bob Walsh with AJC Children's Foundation in Florida and Peter Beuth of San Pedro Sula, Honduras. They set the goals and objectives of their project, raised all the money and are ultimately responsible for it. Their first project was the construction of a complex named Proyecto A.H.L.E based in San Francisco de Yojoa, for the housing, feeding and schooling of children in the community. The land is a gift from the community of San Francisco de Yojoa. The project is supported by voluntary assistants and work machinery was loaned to us by the community. The complex opened in Autumn 2003.
22 children now call it home.

The project includes eight buildings with dormitories to lodge more than 80 boys and facilities to provide them with meals, clothes, shoes, schooling and all their basic necessities. The complex's design will facilitate an auto-mechanic school, a library and an Internet-enabled computer center. The complex will be able to be used by the community's people, not just the children who are lodged there.

AHLE has an Executive Director, named Aida Yaneth Cerrato Henriquez. She took over the direction of our orphanage in September 2007. Aida is a lawyer by profession and eagerly took on the tremendous responsibility of caring for 46 children and about 20 staff and volunteers. She is orginally from Comayagua, Honduras, about 1 hour south of our village. AHLE also has a Board of Directors who make sure that the wishes of the founders of AHLE are carried out. They determine which children are admitted to the orphanage and make the policies of the project. Visit the A.H.L.E official website (Spanish)
