Cornerstone University’s Teacher Education Vision Trip to Honduras: A Reflection

Cornerstone University’s Teacher Education Vision Trip to Honduras was a transformative experience for faculty and students alike. The trip to Tegucigalpa, the capital city of Honduras, provided an eye-opening look at the educational disparities within the country.

The journey was not just a geographical exploration but a chance to witness Christ at work in Honduras. Through visits to schools, special needs orphanages, and rural villages, participants gained a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities in education in Honduras.

One student shared, “The integration of faith into each part of the trip, particularly while experiencing the contrast between the wealthy and the extremely poor in Honduras, was the highlight for me. It changed my perspective on education and how I want to teach in the future.”

Through conversations with local educators and organizations like Point Honduras and Inspirata, the Cornerstone team learned how education is transforming the lives of Honduran children. The trip fostered cross-cultural collaboration and mutual learning, inspiring participants to make a difference in the field of education.

The support and partnership with Friendship Sports International and Inspirata Foundation Honduras made this experience possible. The trip not only expanded academic scholarship and cultural understanding but also strengthened the Christian worldview of all those involved.

Overall, the Teacher Education Vision Trip to Honduras was a powerful experience that left a lasting impact on everyone who participated.
