February is already shaping up to be a busy month for us at AAV with the planning and excitement surrounding our first Alternative Spring Break program in Honduras. We're also working on bringing an exciting new opportunity in Copán Ruinas, Honduras...stay tuned for details!
Here's what you'll find in our February Issue...

"Alternative Spring Break" - Beginning February 19 through March 9, students from two Canadian university groups will be joining us in helping to build a much needed new orphanage in Honduras.
