A lot has happened since our last newsletter. We had intended to spend one week in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala and two weeks in Honduras with the first two weeks devoted to teaching values to professors. However, we were told not to come to the university in Quetzaltenango because they did not want us to teach values “based on capitalism and religion.” They see our values as helping the rich at the expense of the poor. This is far from accurate but after 37 years of civil war in Guatemala I can understand their reluctance. This was a little discouraging but the two weeks we spent in Honduras more than made up for it.
Oct 6-10, 2008 will be our fall trip to teach at the National University in San Pedro Sula, Honduras (enrollment: 20,000+ students).
Save the date and start thinking about whether you’d like to join us!
