Some more information on our group's background and purpose:

Since 1986, ACTS of the Upper Valley has been working with the rural Honduras town of El Rosario (and many surrounding small towns) to assist in sustainable community development. As a part of the Dartmouth Global Leadership Program (DGLP) since 2008, Dartmouth students have annually joined with this Upper Valley organization in creating and implementing La Fuerza, a youth leadership camp for teens in the region. After over 20 years of support, ACTS and the DGLP team have continued to develop programs that reflect the changing needs and desires of local communities.

Every trip taken to El Rosario is truly an immersive learning experience in international sustainable community development. Improving the local quality of and access to healthcare, building latrines in more distant communities, constructing better and safer schools, engineering projects that have improved water availability and invented safer stoves, and supporting education are only a few of the works in progress we have personally witnessed in our past 2 years traveling with DGLP and ACTS to El Rosario, Honduras.

We are looking for Dartmouth students of varied passions and interests to join us for Spring Break 2013. If you want to personally see (and be a part of) the development of a small community in an international setting, have the desire to teach leadership skills to a group of amazing young people, and are proficient in Spanish, we would love to hear from you.

What you can expect if you join our program:
- To develop great friendships with our Dartmouth team as we prepare and fundraise for our trip throughout 13W(you MUST be ON 13W to be eligible for the program)
- To develop great friendships with members of this wonderful Honduran community
- To develop a firsthand understanding of what "sustainable community development" really means
- To have an AMAZING, unforgettable experience that will impact your life and perspective in ways this e-mail cannot convey

The application has been condensed from the previous version to reflect the quick-approaching deadline. Interviews will follow shortly.
