Peace Corps Speaker Series

Honduras presented by Helene Zelaya

Join us Tuesday evenings in February for guest speakers from the Peace Corps who will present about their travels.

The Peace Corps is a service opportunity for motivated changemakers to immerse themselves in a community abroad, working side by side with local leaders to tackle the most pressing challenges of our generation. Peace Corps volunteers lead grassroots efforts to protect the environment and strengthen understanding of environmental issues in communities worldwide. Come and listen to guest speakers share their stories of their travels across the globe. 

In this presentation, Helene Zelaya will share about her time in Honduras as a Peace Corps volunteer. Helene served in the Peace Corps in the village Ilanga in Honduras from 1983-1985. Her title was rural education projects and she worked with various schools. She then married a Honduran in the village and lived there 13 years. They had 4 children and during that time she operated a mercantile store and worked at bilingual school.. She also was on committees to build a secondary school, church and park. This presentation is offered free-of-charge and all are welcome.
