The campesino (peasant) farmers of west-central Honduras of have been working hard to improve life for themselves and their families. They have organized their communities, adopted improved nutrition and agricultural practices, implemented preventative health measures and learned to market their crops more profitably.

Most recognize the important role of education in building better lives for their children. Many communities are coming forward to request help building “kinders” (kindergarten schools) to add to the primary education many children now receive. The Honduras expeditions will help build kinders in the Lago de Yojoa region.

The community of Chichoy, Guatemala was devastated by Hurricane Stan in October 2005. Now the people are rebuilding their lives and community: roads, water systems and schools. The purchase of property by Mujeres en Acción, our Guatemalan partner, will allow 16 families to build new homes.
