Heifer offers week-long trips to Honduras designed specifically for K-12 and College and University educators who are interested in learning in-depth about Heifer's approach to sustainable development, as well as root causes of hunger and poverty in the country. Participants will learn about these issues in a series of workshops at the beginning of the trip, and then visit with the project partners in their homes or communities to find out more about their lives, their hopes and dreams, and- most importantly- their work with Heifer to create a better future. Participation in these special trips is by application. If selected to join the trip, participants are eligible to receive a grant from Heifer. The grant covers international air transportation from a selected departure city, land transportation within Honduras, accommodations and meals, and resource materials for teachers, administrators and other educators. Next summer, these trips will take place in late June.
