Can you tell us more about the trips you take to Honduras,
Tina? How often do you go? Do you take anyone who wants to
go? How long do you stay?

Hi, Marilyn - I go once or twice a year to Honduras and to
Guatemala. Usually there is one construction trip and one medical
trip to each country. The group stays 10 days but I usually go down
a week early and stay with a family. Anybody can go on the
construction trips, but the medical trips we try to fill up with
doctors, dentists, nurses, and then lay people. Logistics would be
complicated for anybody not in our presbytery but groups go from all
over the USA at different times of the year. I make the arrangements
in Honduras through Tim and Gloria Wheeler, Presbyterian missionaries
and Heifer Project International directors for Honduras. Heifer
Project is a wonderful organization and I've been on many trips all
over the world with them. Anybody can go on those. Here is more information:

Hope you'll be interested in going!
