These one-week tours, led by Heifer staff, provide an inspiring, first-hand look at the work of Heifer International in Honduras. The trip gives participants the opportunity to become immersed in thecultures and lives of Heifer project participants, witness the root causes of hunger and see Heifer's approach to sustainable development in action.

Ultimately participants come away knowing how they can motivate their students to help build a better world. Read Lily's Blackboard to hear how Lily Eskelsen, Vice President of the National Education Association, was impacted by her recent Study Tour to Honduras.
