Honduras Study Abroad: Photo Voices

At the end of each study abroad in Honduras, students create a photo voice and share with their peers. A photo voice is a combination a photo and words that effectively express communities and individual’s needs, problems and desires. Many university professors across the country use the photo voice model when teaching social sciences, which is a great fit for our students to share the impact this expereinece study abroad experience

After the photo voice presentations are shared by the students, they are added to the study abroad blog for students to share with family and friends.

Below are the links to each photo voice created by our students (and a few staff, too!):

As a part of the Community Development study abroad trip to Honduras, students toured Leche Rio Grande, a facility in Choluteca, Honduras that packages milk and produces cheese. Students were able to see the process from start to finish as milk arrived at the facility from local farms until the cheese was pasteurized and then sampled.
