HansenHighFive is now working with Compassionate Hearts Alliance to present puppet shows in schools, teach therapy using horses, aid those with special needs, and minister in any way needed while in Belize. Sharing the gospel, as well as working in other areas of need are awesome opportunities, and I am truly blessed to be part of this ministry.
James & Lorrie Pitre , leaders of Compassionate Hearts, now live in Belize. Go to www.chacusa.com for more information.  James, Lorrie, & Saida Pitre at home in BelmopanFebruary 2008 I did 9 puppet shows: 5 schools, 2 children's church services, 1 orphanage, 1 coffee shop - approximately 4,000 children. Also, did live interview, with James Pitre, Chad Ballard, & Johnny Montgomery, on Belize Christian radio station, My Refuge, with Bro. Ray. April 2008 At Banana Bank Equestrian Lodge I taught Eddie, their horse foreman, how to do therapy using a horse. Janee, an 8 year old with Cerebral Palsy, is his student. We had 2 classes and were very pleased at the results. Her parents were also present and learned how to be sidewalkers in the class. Janee is working on balance, muscle strength, and verbalization.  Janee  Puppet workshopAlso, I taught how to use puppets for minstry at Belmopan Baptist Church. We worked on techniques, manipulation, and characterization of puppets. I took CDs of scripts and songs as well as written scripts. They're now ready to launch out into their community with the gospel message. Another very enjoyable aspect of this trip was being with the Pitre family and seeing the people through their eyes. God places children in their path, and they minister to them in many practical ways. I was so blessed to see the love of Christ through their actions. June, 2008 Another opportunity to share the gospel in different ways with the beautiful people of Belize. I presented shows in 5 schools and 2 churches. Also, I taught some more horse therapy with Janee Matute and her family. Joni & Friends donated a special wheelchair for her, and AMBUCS, in Longview, Tx. donated 2 folding wheelchairs. TACA Airlines shipped all 3 free from Houston to Belize, courtesy of Rudy Coye, manager. James and I attended a meeting of the newly organized Association for the Inclusion of Persons with Special Needs and will be working with them to aid their efforts. We're also working to bring a young lady, Veronica Orellano, to the states to become a physical therapy assistant.
