Zero incidents in Honduras...
Wednesday, 25 January 2012 00:00
We the members of Amigos of Honduras travel twice a year throughout Honduras. We go from Roatán to La Ceiba to Copán to Comayagua and finish in Tegucigalpa. We have been doing this the last six years. We are careful and don't go out at night. We have had zero incidents in the 18 times that I have personally been down there. For us, the good that we feel we are doing providing clean water to Hondurans living in the mountains is worth the risk. I have not heard of any incidents with the myriad of colored t-shirt groups that we see on the planes coming home from Honduras.
Honduras was a nasty corrupt violent country six years ago and, as gringos trying to help, we have seen no difference. We hear tons of stories from people we meet and friends down there, but we've just have never felt like targets. The Honduran people whom we meet are incredible and so thankful when they receive help or even a smile. I am not saying nothing will happen, but I would send my college aged daughter with a group that was well supervised and had with strict rules. Yo creo que vale la pena!
