Study Abroad – Honduras

Eleven students, faculty, and staff from our Department are studying abroad in Honduras for the next two weeks.

As part of this trip, students will be given an opportunity to learn about Honduran issues related to agriculture, education and international development through community outreach and education about agricultural needs and practices. A major project will be to create learning modules and work with local, Spanish-speaking instructors, to teach local residents how to create a community garden.

You can follow along with their experiences by visiting the Honduras Study Abroad Blog at www.osuacelhonduras.wordpress.com.
