Baylor students have served in Honduras since 2002, beginning with deaf education through the department of communication sciences and disorders. This year, five additional teams from engineering, education, nursing, medical and general ministry participated in the trip.
“Faculty and staff-led teams from various disciplines at Baylor create ways for students to explore what it looks like to serve God by using the skills and expertise from their major and field,” Kennedy said.
“Participating in discipline-specific teams often allows students to have even more to offer as they serve in international settings. Students also greatly benefit from learning and serving alongside professionals in their respective fields, and this experience can help shape a student’s view of their own future of service and ministry.”
Baylor students on the deaf education team worked with students in the only deaf school in Honduras, while team leader Lori Wrzesinski, director of Baylor’s American Sign Language program, focused on teaching English as a Second Language to Honduras’ deaf school teachers. This year Wrzesinski had her first graduating ESL class, Kennedy said.
Another team led by Nancy Pfanner, lecturer in communication sciences and disorders, helped a nonprofit organization in host an annual camp for deaf and hearing-impaired children.
