By bringing a Christ-centered education to the children of Agua Caliente and El Cisne, we are actively changing the face of education in Copan Ruinas. Through the teaching of core classes and electives such as agriculture, art, and computers, we are able to provide students with not only a basic education, but skills that will benefit them in the years to come.
We were created by a dream of three Christian women that wanted to change the shape of Honduran education. Read our story!
In the extracurricular agriculture class, a plant nursery is established. The soil is prepared, bags are filled, and rows are arranged in small lines. The students learn and plant different types of trees. They are educated in the care of the environment by planting trees where needed in the rural area. Then, seeds are planted to germinate, and they are being watered to grow trees. The aim is to have trees and reforest a water source in the area, and to teach each student to take care of the enviroment. The students also teach younger kids from an elementary school nearby how to do the waste separation to create a cleaner environment!
We are trying to familiarize the kiddos with the topic of the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). We are recycling large water bottles that are no longer useful by repurposing them into another service (trash cans), colored green for organic waste and yellow for inorganic waste.
The goal is to teach a bit about waste separation and create a repeater effect, in the community they live, teaching to younger kids in other schools about waste management, and trash cans are donated based on the number of classrooms in each center. Additionally, each student in the school receives two trash cans to learn how to separate waste at home.
