Looking for a meaningful way to spend your summer break? Come to Honduras to help create a peace park. The goal of the project is to create awareness for the need for a united community across the Americas. This is a project to foster friendship, collaboration and solidarity with the peoples of the Americas as we strive to develop a Culture of Peace.
This August 2018 project will continue to make improvements to the El Way Peace Park that was started in January and August 2017. We are working together with the local city government to build this park, and model a community of cooperation.
