“I am part of the pilot team for the project of rescuing values and principles. For me, it is a true challenge because rescuing something that little by little we have been losing is not an easy job. It is precisely with that motive that I commit myself to this project… The involvement, acceptance and participation of the students has been excellent. The majority are motivated as I am since we haven’t seen it as a mandate, but as a benefit to all.” (Professor, University in Comayagua)
In case you haven’t guessed, the director, students and professors at the National University of Honduras in Comayagua are absolutely thrilled about the course in values and the new CFI that is halfway completed on their campus. See photos of the construction progress.
Look at the photos below showing students in the classroom with our book in their hands. This is on the Comayagua campus where the first course on Values and Principles is being taught. We are looking forward to talking with them while we are there later this month, to learn first hand how it is going.
Here also are some photos of the new Center of Integral Formation (CFI) in Comayagua:

At this time last year, Charly and I were busy writing our book titled “Values and Principles that can Change the World,” and this has greatly changed the focus of our trips this year.

This consumed most of Charly and my time during the trip in March. Barb and Jim Hermanson were with us on this trip and they taught Barb’s great material on expository writing at several universities.
Then on June 28, the national congress and the supreme court of Honduras removed president Zelaya from office and sent him out of the country. Read the rest of this entry »
