The Global Studies Student Association is raising funds to support their annual international service project at Hogar de Niños Tierra Santa, a non-profit orphanage in Honduras. In the past, GSSA has raised $26,000 for construction projects at the orphanage. This year, 12 GSSA students will travel to Honduras in May 2009 to carry out service projects in areas like health, education, and sustainable agriculture. Their goals are to learn about Honduran culture while helping the orphanage through projects like improving crop diversification, irrigation, and developing long-term sustainability partnerships.
