Connecting and Re-connecting

We spent October 18-29 in Honduras. Most of the time was meetings on short-term (Connecting Peoples) groups coming to Central America. One highlight was talking with Kurt Ver Beek (Calvin College prof) about his super-interesting work in this area. Click here to see some of this research. Another highlight was brainstorming with the other Connecting Peoples Coordinators and the MCC Policy Analyst about advocacy and education. The photo at left is this group in the MCC Honduras office.



In the midst of these Connecting Peoples meetings, we also found other connections. We enjoyed spending time with the BIC folk (Nate and Cathy Bert, Rachel Bowman, Mike Holland, and others) and MCC friends from Honduras (especially some from the Guatemala trip we took last month).

We also really enjoyed re-connecting with each other, with cooler climates, and with nature on our vacation to the Western highlands of Honduras. The other 3 photos are from Gracias & La Esperanza.

That's funny...with my shirt on I look like the Calvin College prof you all met with. I must be very successful for my age.
