Warren Teen Looks to Help Students in Honduras

Warren, NJ – At 17 years old, Stephen Lee is already looking to make a difference in the world.

The junior at Watchung Hills Regional High School is planning on attending a church mission trip to La Entrada, Honduras where he and other volunteers will improve conditions at the school and teach students there about God.

Over the past 15 years, Lee’s church Liberty Corner Presbyterian Church in Basking Ridge has built the Hearts for Honduras School, where children can now receive an education.

This will be Lee’s first time going on the mission trip, which he will be going with his father Brian from July 9 to 16.

“I am definitely excited, it will be a great opportunity to experience a new culture,” Lee told Patch. “I am really happy and hope to make an impact on kids’ lives. It will be very interesting and enlightening.”

The total amount of trip costs $1,600 and the money will be used to cover airfare, lodging, food, and ministry expenses during the trip.

To help reach his goal, Lee has set up a gofundme site where he is almost at goal. He has more than $1,400 already.

This trip will be the furtherest Lee has traveled but will not be the first time Lee has given back.

He has gone with the church on other mission trips to Ocean City to help rebuild homes that were torn up from Superstorm Sandy. While there he helps with painting, demolition and setting up foundations.

“It’s all about making a difference in people’s lives,” Lee said. “it’s very rewarding.”
