I also tried to always make people proud of where they came from and who they were. But one thing is for sure, I always remained myself. Jocelyn: I do not really know what impact I had to Hondurans. Jocelyn: I would have tried to talk more with the multiple guides who accompanied us because they were very interesting people, but sometimes I hesitated to ask my questions in case they would judge me.ĪCIC: How do you feel you’ve impacted the people that you met in Honduras? Jocelyn: I thought I would have a culture shock and be very tired at first, but the people we met were welcoming and reassuring to our Canadian team. Together we descended down a bridge and we trekked 40 km in a canoe and saw some very special animals. The fun and different stories we experienced together will certainly stay inked on our list of best memories. Jocelyn: Having the chance to share three days with four young Hondurans is certainly an experience I will remember. What I find most unfortunate is that I could not help these young children and I felt completely powerless in this situation. Jocelyn: I had no plans that this would happen. ![]() Jocelyn: When I saw nine-year-old children bumping the restaurant window that I sat at to have food, I was greatly touched.ĪCIC: Were you expecting to have the reactions you did to this?
