There is always a need for bicycles. They provide an emotional lift for children and are a valuable means of transportation. During 2011, 52 bikes were repaired and shipped to an orphanage in Honduras and 35 more were repaired and prepared to ship to an orphanage in Nicaragua in 2012. One Family has repaired and shipped over 1,400 bikes to refugees and orphanages in Bosnia, Afghanistan, Peru, Guatemala, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Haiti. |

One Family also obtained 8 hospital beds, 8 visitor chairs (both pictured in the clinic) and patient tables for a new clinic in Rancho Santa Fe Honduras. This clinic was founded to serve 500 children who make their home at an orphanage there and for the elderly residents of Casa Eva, a rest home near the orphanage. |

The farm workers who migrate to California for work often come without any posessions and live in very difficult conditions. Many stay in tents out in the orchards and fields where they will be picking the crops. This is the only shelter available so they endure it for the time they are in the area which could be several months. Each year One Family purchases hygiene supplies in bulk, repackages them into 144 individual packets (pictured) and distributes them to the workers. One Family is also working with the East Bay Center for Creative Reuse to provide tents, camp stoves, sleeping bags and warm clothing help improve their living conditions. |  |
