University students from the National Autonomous University of Honduras (UNAH) in Tegucigalpa invite me to visit their campus. It's the largest university in Honduras with more than 30,000 students and is so large that it's also known as La Ciudad Universitaria. I manage to visit the Sports Palace where they teach athletics, Tae Kwon Do, table tennis, Karate, basketball, indoor soccer, and more. Then the students take me to see the famous "love park", butterfly garden, aquaponic garden, various projects run by biology students, a famous breakfast stand, a cafe, astronomical observatory, and more.
I also meet a group of children who study in an elementary school inside the university. Their mothers tell me about the grave situation of the walls and ceilings of the school and I promise that I will go visit them.
The public university in Honduras is practically free since it is paid for by the state. The only tuition cost for students each semester is 270 Lempiras, paying less than 1000 Lempiras (US$50) annually. University students tell me that to cover their other expenses such as transportation, rent, and food, many work during the day or do sell different things on campus.
