Jose Manuel shares being given up for adoption by a mother struggling with addiction, connecting his past to the Honduran children he filmed.
The host interviews two Food for the Poor videographers, Viviana Moreno and Jose Manuel, about their emotional mission trip to Honduras during Hispanic Heritage Month. They share powerful stories of meeting children in poverty, witnessing a man working in a garbage dump for 30 years, and how Jose's own adoption from Colombia gave him a personal connection to the children's plight.
