When Is a Shipping Container Not Just a Shipping Container?


When it is Transformed to Represent a Traditional Honduran Village Home.


Our Discovery maintenance staff are prepping and priming the two metal containers at the end of the multi-purpose area. Soon you will see our ninth grade students transform them by using faux finish techniques that resemble the natural materials used in village homes.

We will finish the project by working with a local craftsman to construct thatched roofs over the “buildings”. Our students will learn about this traditional style of architecture and methods of building and by doing so will honor these Honduran traditions.

Their work will become a permanent reminder of Honduran traditions and a center for other projects that reflect Honduran rural life.
