Photos, photos, photos

It's been a busy couple of months here in San Pedro. We are preparing for our first major learning tour, comprised of youth from the Canadian Food Grains Bank who will be spending two weeks studying food security issues in Honduras. We'll take them all over the country, from Tegucigalpa; to El Cajón near Lago Yojoa; to Azacualpa, Santa Barbara; and, finally, San Pedro Sula. We'll visit a clothing factory, the world's largest Tilapia exporter, farm projects in the mountains, a women's rights organization, the Canadian International Development Agency office, and much more. We'll also probably be incomunicado for a while.

Here are two photo albums of some highlights from the last month:

Here are some pictures of our first work and learn team, five folks from First Mennonite Church of Bluffton. We spent most of the week assisting with various building projects at the Mennonite Church in La Lopez Arellano, just north of San Pedro Sula.

Wow - think of how many amazing experiences you've had already and then how many you'll have by the time you leave. I'm really excited for you guys.

Hi, dears. Grandma & Grandpa are here looking at your pictures. Grandpa says when you were hanging your curtains "the concrete walls didn't get harder but your drill bit was probably getting duller." Grandma says "keep up the good work!"
Hugs & kisses from us.

Good theory grandpa...funny thing is, I went down to Ace hardware and bought a new bit. Didn't make much difference.
