Honduran Teacher’s Day! Let’s meet Ms. Kathia

In Honduras, Teacher’s Day is celebrated on September 17th to honor the dedication and hard work of educators across the country. This date commemorates José Trinidad Reyes, a prominent educator and founder of the first university in Honduras, who greatly valued education as a means of transformation. Teachers in Honduras face numerous challenges, including limited resources, overcrowded classrooms, and sometimes even unsafe working conditions. Despite these hardships, they remain committed to shaping the minds and hearts of future generations.
 
 

At Jubilee, however, our teachers have the privilege that many others across the country do not. They work in a healthy, nurturing environment with excellent facilities and full support—emotionally, spiritually, and professionally. This enables them to focus on what they love most: teaching and guiding students, without the common burdens that many other educators face.

In honor of Teacher’s Day, we’re thrilled to shine a light on Ms. Kathia, one of our most dedicated teachers at Jubilee. At 43 years old, she’s in her first year with us, teaching kindergarten, and has already made an incredible impact on her students. Her deep love for the Lord and purposeful teaching shines through in everything she does.
 
One standout example of Ms. Kathia’s creativity is the mini market activity she organized for her students. Through this hands-on experience, the children learned the value of money, its symbols, and how to earn and exchange it. It’s a beautiful way to teach them practical skills while fostering a spirit of curiosity and understanding.
When asked about her experience, Ms. Kathia humbly shares:
“I feel very grateful to be a teacher. It has taught me so much about service, and it fills me with joy.”
Last Friday, we held a small celebration for our teachers, with games and songs. For Ms. Kathia, the event was particularly special.
 
 
She expressed:“Jubilee is a very special place where I’ve found people who truly love Christ. Belonging to such a wonderful place makes me feel very grateful and secure.” With warmth and enthusiasm, she reflects on her time with her students:
“Having kindergarten this year has been a blessing, and this has been one of the best years of my life—full of laughter, blessings, fun, and even some tears.” Ms. Kathia’s favorite Bible verse is a testament to her faith and dedication to her work:
“Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things” (Matthew 25:21).
 
 
 
In celebration of all our amazing teachers, we asked a few others to share their thoughts on what teaching means to them:
 
 
At Jubilee, we are incredibly blessed to have teachers like Ms. Kathia and others, who are not only educators but also true examples of Christ’s love in action. Their work impacts the lives of our students, shaping the next generation with faith, love, and wisdom.
To all our readers who are also teachers, from the hearts of our children, we wish you a very Happy Teacher’s Day! Your dedication and love are truly appreciated.
