Introduction: Santiago-Puringla, La Paz, Honduras: Preston Palm

This summer I went to Santiago Puringla, La Paz, Honduras with an organization called Amigos de las Americas. AMIGOS is an organization that is devoted to creating sustainable projects in rural South and Central American communities that will help to strengthen the cultural ties between the Americas while promoting youth leadership. My partners and I finished several projects, met some amazing people, and learned some real lessons about leadership. My experience this summer could not have occurred without a generous gift from the Wilson family. Their contribution made possible a trip that will leave a lasting impact on my life.
