Prepping for Global Connect Winter Trip 2008-09

EPS staff members and friends, through Eden Prairie Schools Global Connect, will once again travel to Honduras on a service trip. This time we'll be leaving Minnesota winter behind and journeying down south in December. Our group will be gone from December 27 - January 4.

Please come back often during that week or so to learn about our progress. We are all looking forward to another wonderful experience.

Our plans are to do edcational activities with the kids of Tierra Santa and to help establish the first-ever preschool program at the home. Of course there is only so much we can do in the short amount of time we're there, but we hope to lay the groundwork for a program that can last into infinity. Thanks to the bold work of groups that have come before us, a new building has been constructed that will not only house this new preschool, but through a water purification process contained in the building, will provide clean drinking water for the home.

Again, please check back often and post lots of questions and comments for us as we go!
