The Canada Connection is growing stronger every day! Since July 0f 2008 the Vancouver based foundation Jugamos (www.jugamos.org) is sponsoring our brand new Health & Sport project. The founders of Jugamos, Robyn Cowie and Geoff Affleck spent six months in Copán Ruinas to set up this program. Right now, our instructor Luis Vado is teaching about health and hygiene in rural schools and setting up a girls' soccer team. He´s also training our baseball team and member of the local AIDS prevention team.

Our instructor of the Maya Project, Londin Velasquez, recently went to Toronto to participate in an international youth forum about arts & development (www.ignitetheamericas.ca). He had a great time and a chance to meet up with ex-volunteer Ilke Schaart who took him to China Town and a baseball game.

In May of 2009 we expect another dlegation of Huron University College volunteers who'll be lucky in enough to be in Copán for our 10th anniversary!
