¡Casi voy!

¡Estoy muy emocionada de irme en menos de 30 horas! Voy a viajar en avión de Minneapolis hasta Atlanta. ¿Saben ustedes en cuál estado está Atlanta? Voy a dar las tarjetas que ustedes hicieron a los niños del Hogar Tierra Santa. Escribiré pronto.
Con amor,
Señorita Asuquo

Who We Are

So, who exactly is this group of educators that will be spending Spring Break 2008 in Honduras?

Well, we're a bunch of eager, motivated people who are hoping to have some fun over break, learn a lot about another part of the world, and use our time and resources to make a small difference in the lives of kids who need our help.

Our group stands at 30 strong. Many of us, 15 in all, are educators from the Eden Prairie School District in the suburban Twin Cities area. Two members of the trip represent the St. Louis Park School District. And the rest are our closest family members and friends.

While we come from the same general area, most of us are just becoming acquainted with one another. This trip will surely build strong, new relationships and cement many others. None of us can wait!
