More about Covid-19 in Honduras

NY/HELP's first Honduran coordinator lives in San Pedro Sula now.  I texted back and forth with him today (with the help of Google Translate).  He says there are about 95 cases in San Pedro Sula.  People are to stay in their homes until April 12.

He said there are no buses or taxis running. People can't go out -- are alone in their block or neighborhood.  He was planning to go to a small store to see if he could get some beans to have in an emergency.

We are in his prayers. Please keep him, and the people of Honduras in your prayers until we get to the end of this pandemic.

Covid-19 in Honduras

From Alba Luz, the head of the CEVER School

Everyone is on lockdown.

In Yoro there is already a positive case of COVID19. There are also several suspicious ones. No one can travel to Yoro from the tribe or visa versa. 

Supermarkets, banks, pharmacies and service stations are closed. There is already little food in the homes.

She said, “We have 12 days with my family alone at home.”


Please pray for our friends in Honduras.

Mission Trip Returrned March 6th.

Just to let you know that our team consisting of Connie, Shelsea, Justo, and Scott returned yesterday (March 6) from Honduras after a very productive trip.  We will soon be submitting a trip report, but this is just some highlights.

 

Overall, we focused on improving communication and encouraging tribe empowerment (decision-making).  Our time was work intensive with full days, many meetings, two sewing graduations, two teacher workshops, two community meetings, and the staking out of the remaining five classrooms needed to complete the six-room, grades 7-9, Lower Village School/Clinic.
