Janet Hines/CEO/Co-Founder
Lori Connell
CEO
Janet’s first experience with Honduras was in 1998 when she came on a two-week mission trip. When she returned the following summer after Hurricane Mitch, the need for help and hope had become even greater. She returned that fall and taught a quilting class to a group of women and realized that they had amazing talent and just needed an opportunity to learn. It took three more years to bring this dream to life in December 2002. This is when Mi Esperanza was born. Being able to be a part of bringing hope into lives where there was none is a huge passion in Janet’s life.
