New Back pack program at Casa De Luz, Care 4 Communities

We have started a new back pack program, located in La Colonia, at Casa De Luz, with Care 4 Comminities. Casa De Luz is a school that teaches English to Spanish speaking children that live in La Colonia, Sandy Bay. La Colonia is a community moslty made up of Honduran families that have come from the mainland, to get away from the crime and the dangers of the mainland, and to raise their families in a better environment. Their are 40 children in the school, and we are excited and looking forward to this opportunity to provide these children and their families with food to fill their back packs, every week, and no telling what else God may provide for them!

The cost is $260.00 a child, per year, which is $5.00, per back pack, per child, each week, for 52 weeks. That consists of non perishable food items such as, rice, beans, flour, cornmeal, cooking oil, and other things, sometimes, pasta, with tomato sauce, boxes of mac n cheese, oatmeal, among other things. We also try to add items such at tooth paste, deodorant, and soap as well.

We try to mix it up every week.

Outreach in Tierra Bomba Island, Cartagena, Colombia

Sunday May 31, 2015, Ernie and a group of about 12 teenagers, along with a clown, from a local church in Cartagena, Colombia, went to Tierra Bomba Island, in Cartagena, to do an outreach at a local church, in a very poor community. They brought food items, and back packs filled with school supplies to give away to about 50 children. The clown shared a message with all the children, and the adults that were there. The children were very happy and grateful for the items they received that day. We love having the opportunity to do this in other parts of the world, and to be a blessing to children.

Since its founding in 2003 by Ernie and Robyn Breaux, ER International has been dedicated to helping disabled children, runaways, and young mothers find hope and support while learning of the love of Jesus Christ. Separately, both Ernie and Robyn had dedicated their lives to meeting the needs of others while located in Baton Rouge. Ernie ran a ministry helping young female runaways struggling with addiction, and Robyn filled her time by offering services to churches and working with a Christian radio station. After Robyn volunteered with Ernie’s mission, the two married and began to merge their volunteer and charity efforts together.

Motivated by their own faith and servants’ hearts, Ernie and Robyn began ER International in St. Petersburg, Florida to help homeless and runaway children living on the city’s streets. It was this initiative that led them to Free the Oppressed, a charity based out of Zambrano, Honduras. After a year of working with the charity, Ernie and Robyn took a leap of faith and moved to Zambrano themselves. Once in Honduras, they began working with Prince of Peace Children’s Home, a home for abandoned, and abused, or orphaned children. Their efforts led them to opening a Teenage Pregnancy Crisis Center and School, furthering their goal to help the world’s youth.

An eventual meeting with the First Lady of Honduras changed the direction of ER International, as well as Ernie and Robyn’s lives, forever. They were asked to take in a malnourished baby boy, and it was this precious infant that convinced the Breaux’s to stay in Honduras indefinitely. Their adopted son, Joey, was later diagnosed with PDD-NOS (a form of Autism), and the Breaux family began to dedicate their efforts to their son and other disabled children in Honduras. They moved to the island of Roatan, where they learned there were no services for Autistic children or those with other learning disabilities. Sad to see children like Joey being cast out for their imperfections, Ernie and Robyn began working with a local school to establish special needs programs for children with learning difficulties, with the eventual goal of opening a therapy center solely dedicated to children with Autism, and other learning dissibilities on the island.

ER International is also tied to the international humanitarian coalition Travel Adventure Group (TAG), as well as Honduran fundraising groups that employ former gang members in raising money for other Christian charities. ER International is able to continue their work on Roatan and throughout the world due to the generous donations and support of churches, businesses and individuals around the world. They are dedicated to continuing their efforts in Honduras and educating children with Autism, and other learning dissibilities.
