September 2024 Three Lessons on Community: from My Time in the Mountains of Honduras Six months ago, I embarked on a journey to one of the most remote areas in rural Honduras. After boarding two different buses and enduring a bumpy ride in the back of a pick-up truck—with no A/C and no entertainment—I finally arrived at San Francisco de Opalaca in Intibucá.
