The Challenger!

"The Challenger" is a monthly challenge proposed by OYE staff to see what individual or which youth group can sell the most OYE youth magazines. 

When the magazine prints, the challenge it thrown.

This month the challenge was simple. In June, Kat Burdine, OYE staff member sold 17 magazines on the streets in two hours. If everyone in the group (Radio, Magazine, Soccer...) could sell more than 17 we would have a pizza party for that group.  

When we told the Radio group about it they took off! They organized themselves into two small groups and flew through the parks and market. However, in two hours between the ten of them they only sold 120...50 short of their goal....

HOWEVER, they sold 4 publicity spots which is way more than 50 Magazines. So, we went for Pizza!

COPA OYE championship

As many of you have seen and heard Honduras is in the mist of a political termoil.  We are all safe, but pretty frustrated with the situation.  The air is full of hope and fear. As we watch and wait we are aware that for these youth OYE is all they have, because do to strikes in the education system schools have been close for the last two weeks. Thus, we continue with youth projects and activities. The most exciting by far is the championship of the COPA OYE soccer league.

Here are some pictures from the day.

The Women's final- La Perla vs. Chevez

Men's final-La Perla vs. Holy Spirit

There was standing room only at Gol Sport, and not much of it.
