The Alabama Honduras Medical Education Network (AHMEN) has been serving the people of Honduras for well over a decade. Based in Alabama, it is a faith based charitable entity holding a 501(c)(3) tax deductible status. We have members from all over Alabama, several States, and several foreign countries. AHMEN sends 10-12 mission teams to different areas of Honduras yearly. All participants fund their efforts through private donations and their own contributions.
Our goal is to improve the lives of the people of Honduras on many levels. We provide medical clinics for the poor and actively support several permanent hospital and health clinics across the country. We supply prescription eyeglasses to those in need. We build and outfit libraries in remote areas of Honduras. We sponsor a school for the deaf, a sewing school and a computer school. We support a home for at-risk teenage girls in La Ceiba. We fund and support several feeding programs for indigent children. We participate and fund an annual International Medical Conference in Ciriboya. All this and more, while spreading the Gospel.
I have been involved with AHMEN for over three years and have participated in many activities including five trips to Honduras on medical missions to remote areas of the country. I have also served in Uganda and recently in Haiti.
The purpose of this Blog will be to chronicle the activities of those involved with AHMEN and their endeavors. There will be reports about mission groups in the field, and to detail the efforts to put together a successful mission trip.
