Good evening everyone... With the recent registrations of Paulina
Bendaņa of Arlington, VA and Patricia Havener and David Vignali of
Springfield, MA, we now have 31 people confirmed to attend the 8th
annual Conference on Honduras in Copan Ruinas during October 11-13, 2007.
For info on how to register for the conference, please see

Three side notes:
First, my friends at Hacienda San Lucas
(http://www.haciendasanlucas.com )just outside of Copan Ruinas have
informed me that Hacienda San Lucas will be highlighted in a program
about Honduras on the Travel Channel tomorrow evening (Wednesday, June
20). The program is called "Passport to Latin America with Samantha
Brown". See

Congrats to my good good friend Flavia and the entire Cueva family!
Second, I just ran across a beautiful video of Honduras on YouTube.
I've included a link to it at http://copanruinas.blogspot.com ...
Click on the image of the white church and palm tree on the right hand
column. The soundtrack is inspiring. I think it's a song by Moby.
Third, projecthonduras.com is working with Coaching the Global Village
( http://www.coachingtheglobalvillage.org ) to come up with a segment
within the Conference on Honduras program. The segment would focus on
some sort of roundtable or short workshop to spark an exchange on how
Coaching techniques might be utilized to empower individuals/groups
working on projects to help the Honduran people. Within the next few
weeks, I will be forwarding to you more specific info about what we
have in mind... so you can perhaps give us some feedback (including
your interest in participating).
As part of this Coaching segment, we are also looking at the
possibility of including a presentation addressing the issue of "burn
out" within the volunteer community. I'm pretty committed to doing
projecthonduras.com and the Conference on Honduras the rest of my
life. But I must admit that I have started to feel a little burned out
at times in the last few years. I always seem to find the energy and
enthusiasm (eventually) and get back on track. But I'm originally from
Honduras, and thus I do feel a special connection. that gives me an
edge. For some of you, getting re-energized for Honduras (for the
long-term) may be a little more difficult.
Let me know if you'd be interest in a presentation that provides some
helpful, professional insights on how to deal with burn out. I think
this would tie in nicely within the Coaching segment.
Thanks.
Marco
