Sureste de Venezuela

Frontline Missions busca socios para unirse a nuestra misión de alimentar a los niños venezolanos empobrecidos, sus familias y los trabajadores misioneros nativos que administran la distribución de los alimentos. Llevamos más de veinte años trabajando con socios clave en Venezuela. Debido a la crisis económica y social a nivel nacional, estamos enfocados en ayudar a los venezolanos empobrecidos con esfuerzos de ayuda alimentaria.

A Partnership Invitation from Frontline Missions USA

Deep in the mountains of Honduras, the Tolupan people of Flower Mountain are fighting to preserve their identity. Their Indigenous language, Tol, is vanishing—spoken today by only a few elders as younger generations adopt Spanish, the official national language.

When a language disappears, more than words are lost. Entire worldviews, cultural wisdom, community bonds, and generational continuity are erased.

At the request of the Tolupan council, Frontline Missions USA (FMUSA) is partnering with the community to help revive and preserve the Tol language—but we can’t do it alone.

The Project at a Glance

We are seeking funding partners to help us raise $60,000, which will fund a three-year revitalization initiative, including:

A project director to coordinate community-led preservation efforts
A full-time translator/teacher to document the language, create a usable alphabet, and teach Tol to the next generation
A comprehensive catalog of Tol characters and grammar—many of which do not currently exist in written form

This is more than preservation. It’s empowerment. It’s honoring the request of a people who want to pass their culture forward.

Our Approach: Community First

Unlike many aid efforts, FMUSA responds to Indigenous invitations, not assumptions. We work under the guidance of local councils and leaders, respecting the unique rhythms, strengths, and wisdom of each community.

This language project is just one expression of that commitment. In other areas, FMUSA supports communities with:

Health and dental initiatives
Food distribution
Economic opportunities through handmade goods
Leadership and entrepreneurship training

Our teams are embedded in the communities we serve, with operations in eight countries and growing.

Why Language Preservation Matters

Research confirms that language loss affects more than communication:

It weakens family bonds and cultural identity
It contributes to poverty, disconnection, and displacement
It narrows the diversity of thought and decision-making in society

“Language transmits ideas, beliefs, and knowledge, enhancing social

support, interpersonal relationships, and shared identity.“
—Chandler & Lalonde, 1998

Indigenous languages hold unique worldviews, moral frameworks, and solutions

that can’t be translated. Without preservation, these treasures are lost forever.
