There have been many changes this year, partially due to the opportunities we have been able to grasp as Professionals to the World, and partly due to the crisis in the Honduran government.
We have had the fewest number of professionals going with us this year to teach at the universities in Central America since our beginning in 2005. This had little to do with the economy but a lot to do with our change in focus.
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. We completed the book in time to get many copies printed in Honduras and then to promote it in several universities creating quite a bit of interest.

February 28 to March 15, 2009
We have just returned from another great trip to Honduras. This time, just Jim and Barb Hermanson, and Charly and I went. We didn’t try to get a team together since we were trying some new things and Charly and I were busy writing a book titled, ‘Values and Principles that Change the World.’
