The first three months will be concentrated training in three main areas. We will all study Spanish, Spanish and more Spanish (4-5 hours a day. We will study the cultural differences between Honduras and the United States. The final category is project specific. There are 3 groups of about 20 people who will study either water/sanitation, municipal development or child survival/hiv/aids. Tom has been assigned municipal development and Bonnie child survival/hiv/aids.
They have told us we may not share the same living quarters during training. Hmmm! Maybe it will be like dating again after 20 years of marriage.
Near the end of training we will be told where in Honduras our assignment will be. We are eager to discover our location because even though Honduras is a small country, it has a wide variety of climates. Temperatures vary with altitude. There are tropical coasts, large valleys where it is very hot and humid and mountains where it can be quite cool at night and in the early mornings. Also, in most parts of Honduras the rainy season lasts from June through November.
Please join us as we start this new adventure in our life. We plan to update the site often and post photos once we are established in Honduras.
Love, Light and Peace to All.
