October 2023 - Bringing 800 New Books

The primary focus of this short trip was to complete the delivery of books procured through the Zondervan grant and to advance the transfer of the Colegio and other assets from TCI to ACTS. However, new opportunities presented themselves to discuss a potential new grant-funded project related to teen health, to learn more about ongoing issues particularly related to water (both domestic and for agricultural use), and to check in on various initiatives underway.

We also visited the hospital in Yoro, and the ICF Reforestation facility in Yoro, where we procured 200 seedlings for El Rosario.

ACTS President Linda Kennedy, Medical Committee Chair Sue Burgos, and Secretary Helen Whyte were joined by members of our Honduran Advisory Committee, Cesar Alas and Esperanza Guzman.
