Meet the Staff

We are the people you will be partnering with when you decide to sponsor a child´s education and begin to shape the future of Honduras.

Bob and Kathy Elliott

Bob and Kathy Elliott are the founders and driving force behind Shine!  They have been coming to Honduras for years and wanted to find a way to make a lasting difference in the lives of the children here.  This program is the culmination of that dream. 

 Will and Rachel Antrikin

Will and Rachel Antrikin are the go-to-guys on the ground.  They are in charge of all the day to day workings of the program and are running the after school program.  They are also the primary contacts with the kids here in Honduras. 

Holly Towers with Mariela

Holly Towers is a board member and advisor.  She has been sponsoring Mariela´s schooling since kindergarten and almost all of that has been at Alitom School.  Holly has allowed us to see the model in action and Mariela is our very successful first Shine! student. 

Michael Mitchell and his wife Annalise

Michael Mitchell is a board member and largely in charge of publicity.  Michael has a heart for this program despite never having visited Honduras and is excited to begin this adventure with us.

Holly and Amber

Amber Foster is a local missionary and is helping us get the program started.  She has lived in Honduras for the past 6 years and knows a lot of the cultural issues involved in getting things done.  She will also be working alongside Will and Rachel in an administrative and auxilary capacity.  (Yes, I just wrote all of that in 3rd person.  I will probably be doing most of the blogging as well).

We are all more than happy to answer any questions you might have.  Just let us know at shinehonduras@gmail.com or post your comments and/or questions right here on the blog.
