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.’
Paul Stuckenbruck, who is trained as a journalist and was on our October trip to Honduras, has posted a great online slideshow. Don’t miss the detailed captions narrating his impressions and experience.
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.
We’ve had some trouble recently with our email service. If you tried to email info@pttworld.org and received an undeliverable notice (or no reply), please try resending your message to ptworld@msn.com
