Honduras

I've been in Honduras for the last couple of weeks. I introduced Catherine to her placement in Siguatepeque and then went onto Tegucigalpa, the capital. There I was visiting various projects that could be stride placements for the future. Most of the introductions were through Red Viva Honduras (a network of organisations working with children and youth at risk). There's a huge amount of work going on - with lots of local churches or national denominations taking the initiative in reaching their own and surrounding communities with the good news of Jesus - in word and deed. Some of the projects were well connected with funders and supporters -mainly in the USA - but others were operating on a shoe string and still making a difference in people's lives. It was a busy few weeks!
