“It was a blessing to receive this opportunity. I would not have been able to afford any other course. I live in Talanga, 64 km from Tegucigalpa. Moving around for me is time-consuming and very expensive. I now feel part of this new era; I’m no longer scared of technology.”
Pastor Darlin Zúniga graduated from Mi Esperanza's computer course in 2019. Darlin is married, and the mother of two young adults and a three-year-old. She was invited to Mi Esperanza by the interim computer teacher, Karla, who she knew through a church community. Darlin was extremely excited about the opportunity.

Darlin is a powerful example of someone who has never stopped seeking knowledge and improving herself. Coming to Mi Esperanza, her goal was to be a better Pastor. Helping others and teaching them about the Lord is her passion.
She knew learning to use a computer offered the opportunity to serve her congregation more effectively. Even though learning to use a computer at her age was very intimidating. She was up to the challenge!
Her teacher, Karla, is exceptionally proud of her. "Darlin was an amazing student," Karla said, "Her progress was outstanding; she started without even knowing how to turn on a computer and finished the course understanding and putting everything she learned in class into practice."
Since graduating, Darlin has been using PowerPoint presentations in her sermons. Her services have become more dynamic and better organized. She can also distribute information to her church members using the Word program. Darlin believes that the skills received through her training as Mi Esperanza helped her reach her goal! To become a better pastor and to communicate more effectively. She believes that blessings come to everyone when she gives and teaches with gratitude.
And Darlin is very grateful.
