The New Project Manager of the Honduras Spanish Institute

I want to take a moment to introduce you to the new Project Manager at the Spanish Language Institute here in Siguatepeque, HN. This is the language school we studied at last year. Currently, the school is located on the grounds of SEBCAH, a local Bible seminary.

Without a doubt, what makes this school so special are the teachers. Each of these women are unique and each of them really pour their hearts into their work and their students. Honestly, I have never seen a more dedicated, more caring group of people. Barbe and I love these girls immensely and they have become family to us.

Since this picture was taken, the school has grown and they have added several more teachers, including a young man. Because the number of students fluctuates, the school cannot promise full time work, but the teachers understand this, especially the newer ones. Delia, (back left) is la Directora and she, Mercedes and Reyna (back center and right) were all teachers with the Peace Corp before they pulled out of Honduras. 

Classes are typically "one on one instruction" although group settings can be arranged. Along with the classroom, the school also schedules trips into town to practice Spanish "on the streets" and is in the process of developing a missions oriented approach to these outings so that students can also serve the community as they practice Spanish.

Another thing that makes this school special are the students, and I mean that. We have had the privilege of meeting some exceptional people during our time here. Most of those who come are missionaries or missionaries in the making. I have been amazed, in particular, at the quality of the young people who come here. We have had the honor to welcome many of them into our home, our home fellowship group and our lives.

Oh yeah, about the new project manager...that would be me.
