The next site we visited was at the docks. This is a Lutheran Center that was built in 1945. It has been closed for years and Pastor Byron is in the process of re-opening it to serve the people in the area. They have started having programs for the children on Saturdays. Thieves broke in recently and stoled the building materials and chairs for the kids. It will serve the people in the area who are descendants of former slaves. They support themselves by fishing. They are the poorest people in Puerto Barrios.
