Honduras Peace Park Announcement
December 29, 2019 - January 11, 2020
Consider coming 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.

August 2018: we continued to make improvements to the El Way Peace Park that was started in January and August 2017. We worked together with the local city government to build this park, and model a community of cooperation.
The project will begin in the colonial city of Comayagua to celebrate the new year. This is an exciting and unique cultural experience - including music, dance, street jugglers and stilt walkers, crafts and the national New Year’s countdown on the second oldest working clock in the world.
On New Year’s Day we will travel to our project city Tela, Honduras newly established as an International City of Peace internationalcitiesofpeace.org
During the next project, we will:
Refurbish concrete benches and structures with ceramic mosaics - using designs contributed from youth and students from the Americas
Engage in dialogue with city officials about Tela’s development as a City of Peace.
Landscape the lawn and garden areas
Hold a community gathering to celebrate our friendship and cooperation
Visit local cultural and tourist attractions
In addition, participants will have the opportunity to share in a culture different than their own and use creative problem solving while working in teams with volunteers from North, Central and South America.
Participants will be responsible for a project fee of $500. (which will cover room, board, in country travel, and project activities.) They are also responsible for their flight to and from San Pedro Sula, Honduras. Participants will be met at the airport by a staff member.
