Have you been thinking about volunteering with us? The best time is now! Here’s why…

The Marta Banegas School Network comprises 10 educational centers, with an average of 590 students, and 20 teachers. The educational centers are in the Intibucá region in Western Honduras.

This new year has already held so many exciting new milestones for Chispa Project.

February starts a new school year in Honduras, and we are excited for this “Next Chapter” for making 10 new libraries in 2019.

The Honduran school year runs February through November. It’s great for getting a long Christmas break, enjoying the cool and dry mountain weather, and it’s coffee picking time!

Last week, we were honored to be asked to present the Chispa Project perspective on sustainable libraries at the XIII Jornada de Bibliotecología en Honduras (the XIII Conference for Librarianship in Honduras)

Today we said goodbye to Joey Torres, a pastor, friend, and third year PhD student studying the intersection of race and Evangelical Christianity at the University of California, Davis.

Shaking hands with la Famosa Lucia …and all through the school, students showed off their new backpacks, trying to play it cool;the books were placed in the library with care, in the hopes that la Famosa Lucia would soon be there;

We sat down with Chispa Project board member Dr. Cynthia Chasteen to learn about her book preferences, how she finds balance, and how she lives the Chispa Project mission in her everyday life.
